[9] bautuðr (m.) ‘striker’: So B (the R, Tˣ, C variants ‘bꜹrvðr’, ‘baurudr’ and ‘baurruðr’ must have been caused by a scribal error at some point in the ms. transmission). Bautuðr is also listed among the heiti for ‘horse’ in mss A and B (see Note to Þul Hesta 3/7), but the word does not occur elsewhere. According to de Vries (AEW: bauta(ða)rsteinn, bautuðr), this was originally an ox-heiti, since an ox strikes with its horns.
