[2] Hǫgni: Probably here Hǫgni Sǫlvason, the father of Sǫlvi (see st. 2/4 above) and Hildr (Flat 1860-8, I, 23), but there are several legendary heroes of this name, e.g. Hǫgni Gjúkason and Hǫgni, father of Sigrún (cf. HHund I, II; see also RvHbreiðm Hl 5 Note to [All]), as well as Hǫgni, father of Hildr (Bragi Rdr 9-12). The name is frequently used in kennings.
