[eedit | eedit soorce]- ↑ "Ildulb" is an Auld Erse name derived frae either the Auld Norse name Hildulfr or the Auld Inglis name Eadwulf. It occurs in various contemporary Gaelic forms, such as Iondolbh, foond in the Duan Albanach. "Ildulb" wis later rendered "Indulf" unner Auld French influence. Ildulb is uised acause bi some historians acause it correctly represents the name Hildulfr in Gaelic orthografie; Eadwulf woud perhaps be Idulb, hence that form is an aa uised sometimes. The name nivir came into wider uise in the Scots warld, or the Gaelic warld mair generally, an haes na modren form. Walker, p. 97.
