Note to Þul Óðins 3III

[3] Glapsviðr: Perhaps ‘one swift to seduce’. The first element is related to the weak verb glepja ‘beguile, confuse, confound’ and the second is the adj. svinnr/sviðr ‘swift, quick’ (so Falk 1924, 14). Cf. Vsp 39/5-6 (NK 9): oc þannz annars glepr | eyrarúno ‘and the one who seduces another’s trusted wife’ and Hárb 18, 30. Otherwise the name is attested only in Grí 47/7 and in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: Glapsviðr).
