[3] Nepr: Here the name of a son of Óðinn. Nepr (variant readings Nefr in C and Nefirr in B) is not known from other sources, however, unless he is identical with Nepr, father of Nanna, Baldr’s wife (see Þul Ásynja 2/1). In Gylf (SnE 2005, 26, 46), Nanna is twice called Nepsdóttir ‘Daughter of Nepr’, but in that case Nepr can hardly be an offspring of Óðinn (see also Gade 2006, 271).
