[5] Alkoga: olga A, 744ˣ, ‘[…]ga’ B
[5] Alkoga (f.): Or Álkoga. Possibly the same as Olkoga mentioned in Heimslýsing (Hb 1892-6, 150). The latter name has been identified as the river Volhov in north-western Russia (Pritsak 1981, I, 549). Pritsak (1981, I, 297) adopts the A, B (744ˣ) variant Olga, which he takes to be the Volga in Russia, the longest river in Europe. As a river-name, Olga or Ólga could also be the f. form of ólgr ‘noise-maker’ (cf. þrym ‘noise’, l. 3 above), a heiti with different referents in the þulur (cf. Þul Elds 3/1, Þul Óðins 6/7, Þul Øxna 3/5 and Þul Hauks 2/7; on this and similar heiti, see Gurevich 1992c, 41-4).
