[6] auðskjalg: útskjálg C, ‘[…]’ B, ‘audskia . .’ 744ˣ
[6] auðskjalg (f.): Or auðskjǫlg. This is possibly a mythical name (so Finnur Jónsson 1933-4, 264). The name may mean ‘one looking sideways at riches’ (from auðr ‘riches, wealth’ and f. nom. sg. of the adj. skjálgr ‘wry, oblique, squinting’), or it could be connected with the river Shallag in Scotland (CVC 780). Alternatively, auðskjálg may be interpreted as ‘easily bent one’ (if the first element is the adverbial prefix auð- ‘easily’). The cpd is not attested elsewhere.
