Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Dvergatal

As you may know, the worst (in etymological sense) part of the Vǫluspá is the Dvergatal, the so-called "Recounting of the Dwarves", which lists the many names of the dwarves of the Norse mythology. It is the worst for 2 primary reasons: firstly, the proper nouns' etymologies are always far more difficult to find/gather/understand, since so many of them tend to be derived from older languages or have metaphoric meanings. Another thing is, some of these names were often miswritten by the writers of the Eddas, which is why there are so many different spellings of these words. My question concerns the names Bifurr and Bǫfurr. They have more or less cognizable etymologies, but each of them has 4-5 different spelling variants, so since I could be wrong about their spellings, should I make pages concerning these names and their etymologies?
