Note to Þul Hesta 4III
[7] viggr (m.) ‘steed’: See vigg in st. 2/7 above and Note to Anon Þorgþ I 2/1. Viggr, a later form of vigg, has been emended from vigr/vígr (A, B) (so Nj 1875-89, II, 397 n., Skj B and AEW: vigg, viggr; see also Gurevich 1992a, 21). Kock (NN §2157B; Skald) adopts vígr ‘warlike one’ or ‘swift one’ (from the adj. vígr ‘battle-ready’).
