notes

[5] apaldr (m.) ‘apple-tree’: Found as a base-word in man-kennings in Sigrdr 5/2 and HHj 6/3. In skaldic poetry, the word occurs only once, where despite its m. gender it is used as a base-word in a kenning for ‘woman’ (Anon (LaufE) 1/4 línapaldr ‘flax-apple-tree’). It also occurs as the first element of the cpd apaldrgarðr ‘orchcard’ in Anon Pl 49/6VII (see Note there).
