While going ahead with Dali toward the sounds in the wood, we note
that also Holti is an attested man's name, and relate it to Skogi and
Lundr, as well as to Kvistr, Borkr, and the trees Heggr and Askr. We
recall that the so-called sea-king who brought us to Lokarr's land
was called Ivi(long-i), a weak masc. from yr(long-y), the yew, and
reckon that he was likely a normal gome after all. We add to our
misgivings about lost tree- and plant-names. We note that many ON
names compound in vid- or -vidr, such as Folkvidr or Thorvidr, and
that these would all have had corresponding feminines after the model
of -alfr and -elfr, or -ketill and -katla, and that Swedish
inscriptions do show some attested feminines in -vida. It is cold in
Lokarr's land, and we note that some of his fellows were called
things like Frosti, Isi(long-i, compare OHG Iso), or were simply
desribed as Kalinn or Kali (Cold, strong and weak). Furthermore, we
note that folk here are often simply called after the earth, named
things like Moldi or Torfi (about which we shall see more when we
talk about the aftercomers of Lokarr's folk), and that ON names
compound in Jard-(dh, earth). Lastly, we note that the feminine name
Solva(hooked-o) relates to our house-names, as well as to the stead
of our folk-meeting, and that Lokarr's king lives in one. Also that
many ON names compound in Sal-. Walking further, a fowl or bird flies
over our path. -Konrad
