[5] dini: om. B
[5] dini (m.) ‘flickering one’: A hap. leg. and an obscure word. Torp (1963, 61) argues for a connection with New Norw. dena ‘run about’ (of animals). If so, the word possibly refers to flickering fire (see ÍO: dini). Alternatively, dini may be a loanword from OIr. tene ‘fire’. The heiti is omitted in B, and possibly in RE 1665, unless the form ‘Dyn’ given there is a corruption of dini.
