[6] Hǫrvi: Cf. Hǫrvir in Hyndl 20/8, 25/2. Perhaps cognate with hǫrr m. ‘flax, linen’ (dat. sg. hǫrvi), which is also a term for ‘bowstring’, and hence the word may be a nickname meaning ‘one clothed in linen’ (Björn Sigfússon 1934, 133) or ‘bowstring’ (Finnur Jónsson 1934-5, 295). Alternatively, it may be taken as the Old Norse equivalent of the Old High German pers. n. Hariwīh (so ÍO: Hörvi). The name does not appear in kennings.
