[10] til hallar Viðris ‘to the hall of Viðrir <= Óðinn> [= Valhǫll]’: Yet another reference to Valhǫll. Viðrir, meaning essentially ‘Weather-ruler’, occurs as a name for Óðinn in Lok 26/5, HHund I 13/7, as well as in Gylf (SnE 2005, 8) and frequently in skaldic poetry, both with direct reference to Óðinn and as a determinant in kennings (see LP: Viðrir).
