readings

[2] Stúfi: stúfa U

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.
