[4] kǫglingr: ‘kólginng’ A, ‘koglínng’ B

notes

[4] kǫglingr (m.) ‘tracking one’: A hap. leg. The word is spelled ‘koglínng’ in B and ‘kólginng’ in A. It could be related to an adj. *kǫgull (from the weak verb kaga ‘stare, gaze’; so Falk 1925a, 246). Cf. also kǫgla ‘roll or bulge (the eyes)’, ModIcel. köguðr ‘guard, patrolman’ (ÍO: kögla, kǫgla).
