notes

[6] Hœmir: Or Hæmir (with <æ>). The name possibly means ‘glutton’, derived from the weak verb háma ‘swallow’ (Björn Sigfússon 1934, 133). Cf. Hømi in Saxo (Saxo 2005, I, 8, 2, 7, pp. 512-13), one of the chieftains who supported Haraldr blátǫnn ‘Bluetooth’ at the battle of Brávellir. The name is not used in kennings.
