[7] Hjalmberi: so B, ‘hialm[…]i’ A

notes

[7] Hjalmberi: Lit. ‘helmet-wearer’ (from hjálmr m. ‘helmet’ and the agent noun beri m. ‘wearer, bearer, carrier’ from the strong verb bera ‘bear, carry wear’). So B and the LaufE mss. Ms. A is now damaged, and the ascender on the <b> and the abbreviation for <er> have been torn off at the top of fol. 18r. The name Hjalmberi reflects Óðinn’s function as a god of war, and it is otherwise recorded only in Grí 46/3.
