Note to Þul Vargs 1III

[7] gildr (m.) ‘worthy one’: A substantivised adj. (gildr ‘worthy’) and not attested elsewhere as a heiti for ‘wolf’. According to LP: 1. gildr, the heiti could be a variant or a corrupt form of gylðir (see l. 8); cf. the variants gildir (A) and ‘gýlldir’ (B), although those variants produce a hypermetrical line.
