[5] skýðir (m.) ‘hastener’: A hap. leg. The meaning of this heiti is uncertain. It could be related to OE scūðan ‘hurry’, Old Church Slavonic skytati sę ‘wander’ (ÍO: skýðir), and that meaning has been adopted in the present edn. All mss of Skm (SnE 1998, I, 85) have (normalised) skyndir ‘hastener’ here, which could be a lectio facilior.
