gamall ‘Old’
(not checked:)
gamall (adj.; °gamlan; compar. & superl. ellri adj.): old
skaufhali ‘Tassel-tail’
(not checked:)
skaufhali (noun m.): skaufhali
[2] skaufhali: ‘skaufali’ 603, melrakki Rask87ˣ
notes
[2] skaufhali ‘Tassel-tail’: Ms. 603 consistently deletes the [h] in compounds whose second element is ‑hali ‘tail’. Rask87ˣ has melrakki ‘fox’ here, which is also possible but likely to be a lectio facilior. The words skaufhali (and skaufi) are also listed among the heiti for ‘fox’ in Þul Grýlu 1/2III and 1/4III.
notes
[3] leingi búið ‘lived long’: Leingr verið ‘been longer’ (so Rask87ˣ) is possible if we assume desyllabification leingr > leingur, but the comp. leingr ‘longer’ makes little sense in the context.
búið ‘lived’
[3] leingi búið: leingr verið Rask87ˣ
