[2] Þǫll (f.): The meaning and derivation of this river-name is uncertain (see AEW: þǫll 2; S-G I, 198; ÍO: Þöll, Þǫll). According to CVC 780, Þǫll is the river Thuil in Scotland. Alternatively, this river has been identified as the New Norw. Tollåga, a river in Beiarn, northern Norway (Rygh 1904, 272). The name, whose form is identical to þǫll f. ‘fir’, is also known from Grí, where the same alliterating river-names occur in st. 27/9-10 (NK 62) (Þyn oc Vin, | Þǫll oc Hǫll), and Gylf (SnE 2005, 33), and Þǫll is also used as a river-name in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: þǫll).
