[7] gemlir (m.) ‘old one’: This poetic term for ‘eagle’, originally perhaps referring to a one-year-old bird, is derived from the same root as the adj. gamall ‘old’, but with an -ila suffix (cf. gemla f. ‘one-year-old sheep’ < *gamilōn and gemlingr ‘one-year-old wether’). See also Þjóð Haustl 2/3 and Note there. The variant gelmir in B means ‘noise-maker’ (cf. the latter word as a second element in giant-names; see Þul Jǫtna I 2/7 and Note).
