Note to Þul Dverga 4III

[5] Þrór: Perhaps ‘thriver’ (cf. the weak verb þróask ‘increase, wax, grow’; Gutenbrunner 1955, 66). As a dwarf-name, Þrór is also mentioned in Vsp 12/4 and Gylf (SnE 2005, 16), and as a heiti for other referents it is recorded in Þul Óðins 8/4 (see Note there), Þul Sverða 3/5 and Þul Galtar l. 7. Because Þrór is attested as a heiti for ‘boar’ (but only in the þulur), Gould (1929, 955) and Motz (1973, 115) interpret the dwarf-name Þrór as ‘boar’.
