[2] velgr (m.): Perhaps related to the weak verb velgja ‘warm’, but if so, it must be a secondary derivation (velgr ‘warmer’?). Falk (1914b, 164 n. 3) explains the heiti as a term for an ancient helmet with a mask (cf. also gríma ‘mask’ in the next line). The word is otherwise found only in GunnlI Lv 11/8V (Gunnl 17).
