[4] mótroðnir (m.) ‘heath-stepper’: So A, B, RE 1665. The word is also listed in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 88, 146: *mótroðnir with ms. readings ‘motraudnir’ (Tˣ, U) and (normalised) móðrauðnir (R, C)). It does not otherwise occur in poetry. The first element in this heiti is mór m. ‘heath’ and the second is related to the strong verb troða ‘step, tread’. The R, Tˣ variant ‘metroðnir’ cannot be construed to make any sense, and ‘miodhrodnir’ (C) (mjǫðhroðnir lit. ‘mead-destroyer’) appears to be a lectio facilior.
