[8] Gylfi Sveiði: ‘g[…] s[…]de’ B, ‘gylfir sueide’ 744ˣ
[8] Gylfi: Here a sea-king, the son of Geitir (Flat 1860-8, I, 22; see l. 7 above). The name is frequently used in kennings for ‘sea’ and ‘ship’. Finnur Jónsson (1934-5, 294) connects it with the sea-heiti gjálfr n. ‘swelling waves, surge’, while Björn Sigfússon (1934, 130-1) offers the interpretation ‘he who lives on a raised floor, a chief’ (from gólf n. ‘raised floor’). Cf. the A variant Gylfir in Þul Sea-kings l. 6 (and in ms. 744ˣ of the present stanza).
