[7] Aurnir: ‘[…]rnir’ B, ‘aurnir’ 744ˣ

notes

[7] Aurnir: Most likely derived from aurr m. ‘clay, mud, wet soil’ (Finnur Jónsson 1934-5, 300). Aur- is the first element of other giant-names, e.g. Aurgelmir (st. 5/5) and Aurgrímnir (Þul Jǫtna II 2/4). Aurnir is one of the few names of giants that is used in kennings (LP: Aurnir).
