[2] Vifill: ‘uiuull’ Tˣ

notes

[2] Vifill: He was a sea-king according to Ættartölur (Flat 1860-8, I, 24), and his name is also given in Hjálm Lv 15/8^VIII (Ǫrv 25). The quantity of the root vowel ([i] and not [i:]) is ensured by the metre both in the present stanza and in Hjálm Lv 15/8^VIII. Vifill is also mentioned in Hróksv Hrkv 2/2^VIII (Hálf 52) and his name is attested in the p. n. Vifilsey in Heiðv Lv 2/1^VIII (Hrólf 3). See also LP: Vífill, AEW: Vifill and NN §3178.

notes

[2] Stúfi ‘Stúfr’: A heiti for ‘horse’ in Þul Hesta 1/8 and in Þorgþ I 2/1, and a heiti for ‘ox’ in Þul Øxna 2/5. The name can be translated as ‘stump’, perhaps indicating that the animal had a docked tail. The U variant, stúfa, presupposes a weak m. noun (nom. stúfi), but that form has no support in the other ms. witnesses.

[4] Vakri: ‑vakri C

notes

[4] Vakri ‘Vakr’: A heiti for ‘horse’ in Þul Hesta 2/5 and a name for Óðinn in Þul Óðins 7/5. The name can be translated as ‘alert one’ (from the adj. vakr), and the scribe of C appears to have taken it as an adj. rather than as a name, because the line is rendered in that ms. as hinn morginvakri (the latter spelled as a cpd) ‘the one who is alert in the morning’.
