[8] Ámr: armr C

notes

[8] Ámr: Lit. ‘dark one’ (cf. the semantically similar names in ll. 1, 5, 7 above). As a giant-name, Ámr occurs only here and in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: ámr), but it is the name of another legendary person, one of the nine sons of Dagr and Þóra (Hyndl 18/7), also attested in Ættartölur (Flat 1860-8, I, 25).
