notes

[1] Fróði: A common pers. n. derived from the adj. fróðr ‘wise’, with cognates in other Germanic languages (OHG Frodo, Fruoto; OE Froda). Finnur Jónsson (1934-5, 294) identified this sea-king as the legendary Danish king Fróði inn frœkni ‘the Bold’ Friðleifsson (cf. Ættartölur in Flat 1860-8, I, 27 and RvHbreiðm Hl 35 Note to [All]), but there are also other Danish kings and Norwegian chieftains of this name (see Flat 1860-8, I, 25-7, 41-2 and ÍF 35, 14; cf. also Fróði = Frioðigar in SnE 2005, 5 (Prologue); Hyndl 13/5, 19/5, etc.).
