Notes

edit
  1. ^ The use of grimmR and the later form grim in the sense "lord" has only a few occurrences from Sweden. In extant Icelandic material, grimmr only appears as an adjective with the meaning "heartless", "strict" and "wicked", which can be compared with the use of adjective gramr ("wrath") as a name for "lord"; see entry for grimmR in the (Nottingham) Runic Dictionary.[5]
  2. ^ Also the name of a river, one of the Élivágar.
  3. ^ Also the name of a mythological king of Sweden, Fjǫlnir.
  4. ^ According to Rudolf Simek, it is unclear if this refers to Odin. See Simek (2007), p. 96.
  5. ^ Also an assumed name used by Gylfi.
  6. ^ Also the name of a member of a defunct Scandinavian nation, one of the Geats.
  7. ^ Also the name of a Geatish king, Gizurr.
  8. ^ "Geldnir" in some manuscripts.
  9. ^ Also the name of a brother of Loki.
  10. ^ The meaning is disputed; Lindow (2001:185) notes Magnus Olsen's argument that "Hroptr" is associated with Odin's seductions, since in Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum, he takes the name Rofterus when seducing Rind; Larrington (1996:12) translates Hroptr as "sage" in Vǫluspá.
  11. ^ Inferred to be a name of Odin from Ítreksjóð, 'offspring of Ítrekr', in a list of Odin's sons in the Eddaic þulur. See (Burrows, 2014).[34]
  12. ^ "Sidhofr" in other manuscripts.
  13. ^ The plural sigtívar refers to the gods in many Eddic poems.
  14. ^ Also the name of a serpent found in the wellspring of Hvergelmir.
  15. ^ The root svaf- is an Indo-European cognate to words meaning sleep (Greek hypnos; Latin sopor, sopio, somnus; etc.)
  16. ^ See: the story of Vikarr.
  17. ^ Also the name of one of the nine daughters of Ægir.
