Note to Þul Hesta 3III

[7] bautuðr (m.) ‘striker’: As a horse-heiti, the word occurs only here, but, like certain other heiti in this list (e.g. Árvakr and jǫrmuni ‘mighty one’, ll. 4, 8 of the present stanza), it is also mentioned in Þul Øxna (st. 1/9). Bautuðr is an agent noun derived from a weak verb *bauta ‘strike’ (from a strong verb bauta, of which only the p. p. bautinn survives). See also Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: bauta.
