From the words of king Alfred, (þa deor he hâtað hrânas, Orosius i. 1, § 15, Bosworth’s ), it seems that the king knew the name only from Ohthere’s tale; and when Egil in his poem on king Athelstân (if the verse be genuine) calls Northern England hreinbraut, the reindeers’ track, the phrase is merely for a wilderness. There is however a curious passage in (448) where the hunting of reindeer in Caithness is recorded; the text is here only preserved in a single ; but though the Danish translation in Stockholm (of the year 1615) has the same reading, it is probably only a mistake of the Saga; for it is not likely that the Norsemen carried reindeer across the sea; the present breed was introduced into by the government only a century ago]:—a reindeer, 89, 132, iii. 359; hreins fit, ii. 250; hreins horn, Nord. Old. 1844, 1845, p. 170; hreina hold, 191. The finest deer were called stál-hreinar (the stæl-hrânas of king Alfred), tálhreinn, In northern poetry, ships are called hreinn, see , byr-hreinn, haf-h., hún-h., unnar-h., hlýrvangs-h., Gylfa-h., all of them meaning ships, : a giant is called gnípu-h. = ‘crag-rein,’ : the wilderness is myrk-rein hreins = the mirk-field of the reindeer, Hreinn is an old name,
