Note to Þul Á 4III

[6] valin (f.) ‘chosen one’: The heiti does not occur elsewhere. This name could be the f. form of the p. p. valinn ‘chosen’ (so Finnur Jónsson 1933-4, 268). Alternatively, it could have been derived from the root *wel- in vella ‘boil’ (see ÍO: Valin and vella ‘boiling one’, l. 5 above).
