[7] Blávurr (‘blavorr’): ‘bauorr’ B

notes

[7] Blávurr: Or Blǫvurr ‘shining one’ (cf. New Norw. blava ‘shine, glitter, glisten’; Gould 1929, 943 and Motz 1973, 113). The B variant is ‘bauor’ (‘Bavor’ in papp10ˣ(39v), ‘Bäuor’ in 2368ˣ(87) and ‘bavor’ in 743ˣ(68v)), which can be normalised as Bávorr. The pair Bívorr, Bávorr is also given in Vsp 11/5 (NK 3).
