Beinviðr, Bjǫrgólfr and Brandingi, Dumbr, Bergelmir, Dofri and Miðjungr, Nati, Søkkmímir; now the names of mighty giants have been enumerated.
[1] Beinviðr: ‘B[…]ínuidr’ B, ‘Beínuiðr’ 744ˣ
[1] Beinviðr: Not known from other sources as the name of a giant. The first element of the cpd, Bein-, may be connected either with bein n. ‘leg, bone’ or with the adj. beinn ‘straight’, and the second element must be the same word as viðr m. ‘tree, wood’. This giant-name is probably not the same as the tree-name beinviðr ‘holly’ (Þul Viðar 1/8; see Finnur Jónsson 1934-5, 298, but cf. ÍO: beinviður). Alternatively, the correct reading could be Beinvíðr ‘big-legged one’.
