[3] Hrauðungr: ‘hr[…]udunngr’ B, ‘fraudungr’ 744ˣ

notes

[3] Hrauðungr: Perhaps ‘destroyer’, from the strong verb hrjóða in the sense ‘clear out, empty’ (AEW: Hrauðungr; see also Note to Hharð Lv 11/1II). The name occurs in Hjþ Lv 2/8VIII (HjǪ 3) and in the prose introduction to Grí (NK 56), where Hrauðungr is the father of Óðinn’s opponent. It is most likely a variant of Hrauðnir (see Þul Jǫtna I 1/6), which is also the name of a sea-king (see Note to Þul Sækonunga 2/8).
