notes
[8] Beimuni: Perhaps identical with Beimi (see Note to l. 4) and/or the daring sea-king Bemonus, a partner of Starkaðr in Gesta Danorum (Saxo 2005, I, 6, 5, 8-10, pp. 382-5). This name also occurs in Saxo Book VIII where Haki and the sons of Bemonus are mentioned among the champions who fought at the battle of Brávellir (Saxo 2005, I, 8, 2, 7, pp. 512-13). The origin of Beimuni is disputed. Nordenstreng (1923, 25-32; see also Björn Sigfússon 1934, 127) connects it with the name of a parish on the southern coast of Finland, Paimio (in the C14th Pemæren, Peymarum), which apparently was a Viking stronghold. According to Nordenstreng, ‑uni could have been a pers. n. (‘Uni from Paimio’), or Beimuni might have been derived from the adj. paimioinen ‘belonging to Paimio’ (for other possible explanations, see ÍO: beimar). The name is also included in Þul Sækonunga 1/4 but does not occur in kennings.
