It is very likely that Reki is using a different dictionary than the one we are using.

The below is an excerpt from an Icelandic dictionary, all raw-text, so the coding is very weird.

Cleasby/Vigfusson @ http://www.ling.upenn.edu 11MB raw text, if you want the linked source


 * vá;-lyndr, adj. shifty; vá;lynd veð ......
 * crafty, sneaky, scheming, etc.
 * vel-lyndr, adj. well-minded ......
 * Smart
 * Völundr, m. [A.S. Wêland; Germ. Wieland; hence too comes Engl. gallant, from Teut. Fr. galant; prop. an appellative(?), like höfundr] ...... <or the mythical artisan/smith Völundar
 * Gallant, proud, daring, dauntless (or look up a synonym, and choose a word that has a negative or neutral connotation).

But, I can't find a "vo" (even with any kind of accented O) by its lonesome. There are suffixes of "lyndr", but those don't have variations of "vo" as prefixes. I tried my best, and hopefully you can get something out of it.

As for me, I would choose "daring" or "dauntless", or synonyms of those words.
