notes
[1, 3] Blóðughófi; Atriða ‘Blóðughófi; Atriði’: Blóðughófi (lit. ‘one with a bloody hoof’) is also mentioned in Anon Kálfv 1/6 and as Blóðhófr in Þul Hesta 4/5. It is unclear who is the owner of the horse. In Kálfv 1/5 it is said that the person who rides Blóðughófi is bani Belja ‘the slayer of Beli <giant> [= Freyr]’, however here it is Atriði, whose name is possibly a variant of Atríðr, a name for Óðinn (cf. Grí 48/4 and Note to Þul Óðins 1/3).
