Note to Þul Sækonunga 2III

[2] Endill: The name is often used in kennings. It is possibly related to OHG Andala (cf. the giant-name Sámendill ‘dark Endill’, Þul Jǫtna II 1/8), or perhaps from and- ‘opposite’ (thus ‘hostile, adverse’) rather than ‘one at the end’ from endir m. ‘end’ (Björn Sigfússon 1934, 128-9; Finnur Jónsson 1934-5, 291).
