[8] Hroði: Lit. ‘stormy one’. This fjord has not been identified. Munch (1846, 85) suggested that it might be Rosfjorden in Lyngdal in Vest-Agder, south-western Norway, but this identification has been disputed (Rygh 1896, 35 n. 1). As a fjord-heiti the name does not occur elsewhere, but see hroði ‘storm’ in Egill St 8/5V (Eg 79) and hroði ‘coarseness’ in Anon Mhkv 29/6.
