This
þula (
Þul Galtar) contains
heiti for ‘boar’, and it is recorded in mss R (main ms.),
Tˣ, C, A and B (and
744ˣ) of
Skm (
SnE). In ms. A, the
þula has the chapter heading
Galtar heiti ‘Names for boar’, written in red ink as is usual in that ms. The heading is illegible in R and omitted in
Tˣ, C, B. Only a few of the
heiti recorded in this
þula are found in the corresponding section of
Skm (
SnE 1998,
I, 90), which lists the following:
Svín:
sýr,
gylta,
runi,
gǫltr,
gríss ‘Swine: sow, young sow, hog, boar, pig’. In all the mss,
Þul Galtar is preceded by
Þul Hjartar and followed by
Þul Vargs. Seven of the
heiti listed in this
þula are also included in
LaufE (
LaufE 1979, 273, 345; mss
papp10ˣ(42r), 23
38ˣ(91),
743ˣ(71v)) copied from a version closest to the R,
Tˣ, C redaction, and the same
heiti are given in RE 1665(Ff), copied from a ms. of the
LaufE Y branch. Neither
LaufE nor RE 1665 has been considered in the present edition.
