Note to Þul Óðins 8III

[5] Skilfingr: The name means ‘descendant of Skelfir’, originally the name of the legendary ancestor of the Ynglingar (see Note to Þjóð Yt 14/14I), and as an Óðinn-heiti it also appears in Grí 54/4 and Gylf (SnE 2005, 22) as well as in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: skilfingr). Skilfingr is also a poetic word for ‘prince’ (see Þul Konunga 3/3) and a heiti for ‘sword’ (Þul Sverða 7/3).
