Before Lokarr tells us about how his folk vary their personal names,
we recall a few more negative suffix-names, Onass(long-a - or Oneiss,
Onaemr, Osyrgr, Osnikinn(long-i), Otamr, and add them to our list. By
the way, Osnikinn is from the verb snikja, to sneak, and the name
means something like Unsneaky. We also have an Unshy or Unashamed, an
Ungetable or something like that, an Unsorrowful or Uncrying, and an
Untame, a wild one. To our geographical names, we add Holmr, masc.,
and Holma, fem.. Also, some abstract masculines, like Throtti(long-o)
and Hugi, which we relate to compounds in -Modr(long-o). We note that
beside Balki we have Bjalki, the same thing by inherited stem-
variation (*balk- *belk-). To parts of animals-names, we add Klaufi.
To action- and occupational, a subcategory of masculines in -a from
verbs, like Hrifla and Sturla. To cold-names, Jokull(hooked-o),
Icicle, also Glacier. To animals Obbi (also Ubbi, but Old West Norse
prefers the a-mutation), and ancient name meaning Wulf also attested
in Old English, likely at first a kind of nickname, or child-word. To
the point-group of names, but also relating to tool-names, peaks and
Lokarr's place of worship, we add Nagli, a weak masc. form of nagl,
nail. To our character-description of ON man, Ljufr(long-u), matching
fem. Ljufa. This name is found in runic Swedish, and in the stead-
name Liufaerwanger, Vaagaa, attested 1336. Also Landi to our earth-
names, attested on a man Bjorn Landason in Jamtaland 1339. Some
examples of our sources here for those interested. To our clothes-
and things-on-the-body names, we add the feminine Lina(long-i). I am
answering my own question here about an unattested fem. *Lin, which
is not right (the word is neut., anyway), and citing Old Swedish
Latin about a woman from Dalirnir (Swed. Dalarna) called Lina. The
name refers to a woman's head-dress, a kind of scarf called skaut,
which was worn by ON women. Fancy variants of the head-dress are
still found as parts of local traditional dress, varying from one
region to another. It was typically a square-like scarf, folded once
from opposite corners, and tied at the back of the neck. As this name
suggests, it could be made of lin(linen). This name is similar to the
masc. Kofri, Hood. Lastly, we recall some life-names like Fjorvi
(hooked-o) and Leifr, which combined are Fjorleifr(also attested).
Grounded on the many feminines compounding in -leif, as well as on
the fact that the word is feminine, we reconstruct *Leif as the
olden, and most basic, women's name here. Also, *Fjorva makes just as
much sense as Fjorvi, from a root meaning life, and we add it, too.
Before we forget, we add Barsi, another name for the swine, to our
animal-names. -Konrad
