[1] Grímr: Lit. ‘masked one’. The name is usually assumed by a stranger to conceal his identity, and it characterises Óðinn as a shape-changing god (Falk 1924, 14; cf. also Grímnir, st. 1/7). Grímr is the first name in the list of Óðinn-names in Grí 46/1, and the name appears again in the pair Grímr oc Grímnir ‘Grímr and Grímnir’ in Grí 47/6 (NK 67). It is also listed twice in the present þula (see st. 7/7). Grímr is also recorded as heiti for ‘goat’, ‘serpent’ and ‘dwarf’ (Þul Hafrs 1/6, Þul Orma 2/5 and Þul Dverga 2/1; see Notes there).
