[1] Ǫflugbarða: According to Motz (1981, 500), this name means ‘strong-axe’ (from the adj. ǫflugr ‘strong, powerful’ and barða f. ‘axe’). Alternatively, it can be interpreted as ‘mightily bearded one’, if ‑barð- is taken in the sense barð n. ‘beard’. As the name of a troll-woman, the heiti does not occur in other sources, but cf. the m. name Ǫflugbarði in Bragi Þórr 3/3 (see Note there).
