[2] Lodda ‘Ludden’: According to Munch (1846, 91), perhaps Ludden, the no-longer extant name of an island at the mouth of Stavangerfjorden in Rogaland, south-western Norway, or possibly Loddo, an island in Austevoll off the coast of Hordaland south of Bergen in western Norway. The name Lodda is mentioned in Þul Kvenna II 2/6 and occurs in a woman-kenning in Bjhít Lv 12/2V (BjH 16). Lodda is also a heiti for ‘river’ (Þul Á 2/6).
