[1] Gœir (‘Gø̨ir’): ‘Goir’ Tˣ, A, B, Geirr C
[1] Gœir: A hap. leg. and spelled in several different ways in the mss (see Readings above). According to Finnur Jónsson (1934-5, 290), the correct form of the name may be Gæir or Gœir (from the roots gá- or gó-). The meaning of the name is uncertain. Björn Sigfússon (1934, 131) suggests ‘brother of Gói(?)’; cf. gói f., a month from the middle of February to the middle of March, meaning the month of snow, and gœ f. ‘winter-weather’, a weather-heiti (Þul Veðra 2/6) derived from gói. Otherwise perhaps the same as Górr (see l. 6 below).
