Note to Þul Trollkvenna 5^III

[1] Leirvǫr: Possibly ‘one with muddy lips’, from leir n. ‘clay, earth, loam, mud’ and vǫrr f. ‘lip’ (so Finnur Jónsson 1934-5, 304). Alternatively, it could be derived from the adj. vǫr f. ‘ware, aware, cautious’ (so Motz 1981, 504; cf. other names with ‑vǫr in the present þula). The name occurs only in EGils Selv 11/1^IV ljóta Leirvǫr ‘ugly Leirvǫr’ (cf. Ljóta, the next name in this list). Leiðvǫr in Tˣ must be a scribal error.
