Note to Þul Ǫrvar 1III

[4] dynfara (f.) ‘noisy-goer’: An otherwise unattested cpd from dynr m. ‘din, noise’ and fara, a f. form of the m. agent noun fari from the strong verb fara ‘go, move’. Cf. also the m. form dynfari ‘din-farer’ as a heiti for ‘wind’ (Þul Veðra 2/6). The f. fara in the present heiti must have been chosen because of the f. gender of ǫr ‘arrow’ (see Gurevich 1992a).
