[5] Silfrtoppr, Sinir: These names mean ‘silver-forelock’ and ‘sinewy one’, respectively. In the mss, the second name is given as simir, perhaps owing to confusion with the ox-heiti simi, simir (see Þul Øxna 1/5, 2/1). Cf. the same pair of names in Anon Þorgþ I 2/4 (on the emended reading sinir, see Note there).
