[3] ‑vitnir: ‘‑[…]tnir’ B, ‘‑uitnir’ 744ˣ
[3] Hróðvitnir: A mythical wolf and father of Hati (see the previous heiti; cf. also Hróðrsvitnir in Lok 39/2, where it may be another name for Fenrir). This name most likely translates as ‘famous (or praised) wolf’, from hróðr m. ‘fame, glory’ and vitnir ‘wolf’ (see Note to l. 2 above). It is never used as a heiti for ‘wolf’ in general.
