Note to Þul Óðins 8III

[7] Veratýr: Lit. ‘god of men’. The first element is derived from the gen. pl. of  verr m. ‘man’, and the name may have been modelled on Gautatýr and Hroptatýr (see st. 3/6 and Falk 1924, 33). Cf. also Eyv Hál 2/7I vinr skatna ‘friend of warriors [= Óðinn]’. The heiti is otherwise attested only in Grí 3/3.
