Etymology
OWScand Þrýðríkr (later Thridicke 1426, Trycke 1531 Lind, ONorw Þrydreke 1357 SMPs), a pers.n. recorded for instance on the Dynna rune-stone (Gran, Oppland, Norway, from the mid-11th cent.; v. Sandred 1988: 18 f.), and bȳ . The spellings indicate a short form, weakly inflected, Þrykki , as Ekwall assumes (DEPN s.n.; cf. Insley 431), which is evidenced among the forms quoted in Lind. The substitution of t for þ in the earliest forms is explained as due to AN influence (Zachrisson 39 ff, IPN 108). Some spellings show metathesis. The assimilation k > g before the voiced labial cannot be earlier than the 16th cent., judging by the above series of forms.
