Markers for feminine and masculine names in Old Norse?
A question in two parts:
One, is there a way, other than original context, to determine whether a name in Old Norse is generally masculine or generally feminine?
Two, how would one go about feminizing a masculine name (or vice versa) in Old Norse? My particular interest in this case is the god name Mundilfäri, used for a male god; what would the feminine form of it be?
