notes

[6] Anduðr: Or Ǫnduðr. Cf. also Andaðr in Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks (ch. 9, Heiðr 1960, 37) and the minstrel of the same name in Þhorn Harkv 22/4 I, 23/1I. The name is derived from *Anda-haðuz ‘opponent, enemy’ (cf. OHG Anthad), with the Old Norse prefix and- ‘against’ and ‑hǫðr used as a second element in personal names (cf. Niðuðr, Starkaðr). Hǫðr m. is cognate with hǫð f., a poetic term for ‘battle’ (Motz 1987, 309 and Note to Þul Ása I l. 10). The C variant Ǫndóttr does not occur elsewhere, but it must be the same as ǫndóttr ‘fiery’ (a poetic adj. qualifying words for ‘eye’).
