Note to Þul Skipa 2III

[6] Hringhornir (m.): Lit. ‘one with a curled (or spiral) horn’, most likely referring to a ring or spiral prow ornament (cf. the Oseberg ship). Hringhorni is the name of Baldr’s ship in Gylf (SnE 2005, 46). Cf. hringr m. ‘ring’ (st. 3/1 below) and OE hringedstefna, a ship in Beowulf (ll. 32, 1132, 1897), which has the same meaning as the Old Norse word.
