notes

[3] Dáinn: One of the four mythical stags (see Note to Duraþrór in l. 1 above). The name is also recorded among the hjartar heiti in the list in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 88), but does not appear in skaldic verse. Dáinn is otherwise the name of a dwarf (‘dead one’) and a fox-heiti, perhaps ‘deceased one’ (see Þul Grýlu l. 6 and Note there).
