VERATÝR = "God (týr) of Men"

VERA = gen. pl. of VERR "man" (etymologically related to
Latin "vir", English "virile". No relation to the verb
VERA ("to be") or the feminine noun VERA ("being; actuality;
stay").

ÖNDURGOÐ = "Ski-divinity"

Skaði was also known as ÖNDURDÍS. The ÖNDURR was a type of
ski.

Kveðja,
Eysteinn
