Note to Þul Hana 1III

[7] keila (f.): Here ‘hen’, as all the words listed in ll. 6-8 of the present þula, but the heiti is never used in this sense. It is the term for a kind of fish (ModEngl. tusk, Brosmius brosme, see Þul Fiska 4/4) or a she-beast (cf. refkeila ‘female fox’), as well as the name of a giantess (see Note to Þdís Þórr 2/1).
