Note to Bragi Frag 1III

[7] vinjeyjar ‘of the meadow-island’: A rare use of the noun vin ‘meadow’, otherwise only found in Old Norse compounds denoting tax payable on farm products and in Norwegian place names (cf. AEW: vin). For the archaic form vinjeyjar (rather than the later vineyjar), see Note to Bragi Rdr 2/3-4.
