[8] Gylfi Sveiði: ‘g[…] s[…]de’ B, ‘gylfir sueide’ 744ˣ
[8] Sveiði: The name occurs in several kennings for ‘ship’ and ‘sea’. Sveiði may perhaps mean ‘wounder’; cf. the hap. leg. sveiðanda spjót ‘smarting spear’ in Hjǫrleifr Lv 1/6VIII (Hálf 3), where sveiðandi is the pres. part. of the weak verb sveiða ‘smart’ (Björn Sigfússon 1934, 137). Cf. also Sveið, the name of a valkyrie (see Note to Þul Valkyrja 2/6), and the ox-name sveiðurr in Þjóð Yt 13/9I. A chieftain of this name is not known from other sources, but the sea-king Svaði Heitason is mentioned in Hversu Nóregr byggðisk (Flat 1860-8, I, 22).
