Note to ÞjóðA Run 2II

[2] feðr Ôleifs ‘for Óláfr’s father [= Haraldr]’: This type of kenning is rarer than those designating men as the sons of famous fathers. Haraldr had two sons, Magnús and Óláfr (later nicknamed kyrri ‘the Quiet’). The dat. sg. phrase feðr leifs could be construed as above, or could be taken as poss. with the kenning for ‘mind’.
