[6] Rekkr: Most likely this name is the same as the noun rekkr m. ‘warrior, hero, man’ (see Þul Manna 1/5, and cf. Hildingr in l. 2 above). This dwarf is also mentioned in the list from Vsp in Gylf (SnE 2005, 16), but the Codex Regius version gives the name Reginn rather than Rekkr (see Vsp 12/7 (NK 3)).
