Note to Þul Ása I 1III

[All]: Of the seventeen names of the supernatural beings listed in this stanza only four occur in skaldic poetry as base-words in kennings for ‘man’. Other than Baldr (l. 2), which appears frequently in this type of kenning, these are Váli (l. 4), Hermóðr (l. 6) and Hǫðr (l. 10). For a discussion of this þula and the corresponding sections in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 19-20), see Gade (2006).
