Note to Þul Á 4III

[8] mynt (f.) ‘mouthed one’: A hap. leg. Most likely a f. form of the adj. myn(n)tr ‘mouthed’. Alternatively, the name has been identified as the River Mint, a very small river in Cumbria, England (CVC 780). The A variant mynd is also possible (cf. the weak verb mynda ‘measure’) but has no support in the other ms. witnesses.
