[8] óls ‘of the troll-woman’: Hap. leg. Ól (n.) does not otherwise occur as a name of, or as a term for, ‘troll-woman’, but that is the only sense it could have in this kenning (so earlier eds). AEW: ól 2 suggests that the word could be a cognate to OE wōl ‘pestilence’, OHG wuol, wōl ‘destruction’. Ól is otherwise attested only in the meaning ‘leather strap’.
