[2] eyglóa (f.) ‘ever-glow’: According to Alv, where this word has the form eygló, this is the name for ‘sun’ among the giants (Alv 16/4, NK 126): [kalla] eygló iǫtnar ‘the giants [call it] ever-glow’. As a sun-heiti, eyglóa is also listed in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 85) alongside alskír ‘all-bright one’ (see Note to l. 1 and Introduction), but it is not otherwise found in skaldic verse.
