Note 241 — Chapter VIII · THE USE OF FICTION IN THE HEROIC POEMS.
Reading edition
No argument can be based upon the name Suanailta which is found in a document at St Gall dating from 786 (in conjunction with other names which show a knowledge of the story of Eormenric), for it may contain either swan- or sōn-. It is admitted that the name Swanahilt was in use.
