[6] Heðin* (acc.) ‘Heðinn’: The reading of all mss, Heðins (gen.), must be emended to provide a direct object for sóttu ‘attacked’. The name, which probably means etymologically ‘skin-clad one’ (AEW: heðinn 1 and 2), varies across versions of the legend (OE Henden, MHG Hetele, Saxo Hithinus); for Old Norse, cf. particularly RvHbreiðm Hl 45/5.
