[6] Ófóti: om. C

notes

[6] Ófóti: This name could mean ‘one from Ófótafjǫrðr’, i.e. Ofotfjorden in northern Norway (see Þul Fjarða l. 2), and a giant of this name is mentioned in Ketils saga hœngs (Ket ch. 5, FSN II, 131): Ófóti úr Ófótansfirði ‘Ófóti from Ofotfjorden’. The name is also found in the form Ófótan in OStór (ch. 8, Flat 1860-8, I, 529). Ms. C has the variant Ofláti ‘showy one’, which opens the third stanza of the þula in that ms. (see Introduction above).
