Note to Þul Veðra 2III

[6] dynfari (m.) ‘din-farer’: So both mss (and A(14v) of Skm (m. acc. sg. ‘dynfara’); ms. R(37v) and (39r) of Skm has m. sg. acc. gnýfara ‘din-farer’ and C(7r) dynfagra ‘din-fair’). In Alv 20/5 dynfari is the term for ‘wind’ in the language of the elves.  The word is not otherwise found in skaldic poetry, but it is attested once in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: dynfari).
