notes

[8] Torgar ‘Torget’: The name means ‘market places’ (f. pl. of torg ‘market’). Located in Hålogaland, North Norway, south of Brønnøysund. This island was Þórólfr Kveldúlfsson’s residence (see Eg, ch. 9, ÍF 2, 26) and Hemingr Ásláksson’s birthplace (Hem, Flat 1860-8, III, 401-3). See also Þul Eyja 6/8, where this name also comes at the very end of the list.
