Note to Þul Jǫtna II 1III

[3] Verr: The name is not mentioned elsewhere, and it is difficult to interpret. It is probably not identical with verr m. ‘husband’, which would be an odd name for a giant (Finnur Jónsson 1934-5, 303). It may perhaps be connected with the weak verb verja ‘defend’ (hence ‘defender’). See also Note to Þul Sverða 4/3.
