[5] Geitla: Cf. Geitir among the names of giants and sea-kings (Þul Sækonunga 1/7; Þul Jǫtna I 3/3). The name probably means ‘female goatherd’ or ‘little goat’ (cf. names of troll-women such as Hyndla lit. ‘small dog’ and Grísla; see Note to l. 3 above). It is not otherwise attested in skaldic poetry, but it appears once in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: Geitla).
