[8] búði (m.) ‘dweller’: Or ‘one belonging to a dwelling’ (so AEW: búði), most likely from búð f. ‘booth’ (‘booth-dweller’), although Holthausen (1942, 271) argues that the word originates from Gmc *ga-būþa ‘comrade, companion’. In skaldic poetry the heiti occurs only once, in a C14th skaldic poem (Árni Gd 19/4IV), where it might have been taken from a learned source (the þulur?). It is also given in RE 1665 (‘Bude’), and it is used in the rímur in a kenning for ‘sword’ (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: búði).
