[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’.
