notes

[3] Horn: Or Hǫrn (LP: Hǫrn, but horn in Skj B). According to Munch (1846, 88), perhaps the cape of the Frosta peninsula in Trondheimsfjorden, Nord-Trøndelag (see Frosta in st. 5/6). Not included in LaufE, but in RE 1665(Ee3) the name appears to be rendered as ‘Hrønn’ (i.e. hrǫnn ‘wave’(?)), which cannot be identified as the name of an island.
