Etymology

May be same as Soest in today’s Netherlands, close to Frisia, where Attila came from according to the saga. But an alternative form found in the text is Susakk, which is not similar to the name of Soest. Yet another is Susa, and may be declined as a Latin noun.

Proper noun

Súsat ?

  1. (hapax legomenon) The capital of Húnaland in Thidrek’s saga after it was conquered by Attila, who, according to the saga, was not a Hun, but just usurped the throne
