Rob, Grace: <á hendr e-m> is 'against someone'; it's buried
somewhere in the <hönd> entry in Zoëga.

I have to say that I do like Grace's version of the byname!

> Mjósýndr (narrow-something?)

'Narrow defile'; see CV s.v. <sund> (2nd noun). (But
despite what they say, the word is probably related to the
'swimming' word, not to the 'sunder' word.)

> (Dale-of-Pigs).

This is the *second* time that I've wanted to read that as
'Bay of Pigs'!
