Note to Þul Óðins 8III

[3] Jafnhár: Lit. ‘equally high one’. As an Óðinn-heiti, the name occurs only in Grí 49/9 and in Gylf (passim), where it belongs to one of Gylfi’s informants. The name is a late formation, denoting the second member of the heathen trinity. See Þriði (st. 5/4), and the Old High German epithet for Christ, ebenhēr, where ‑hēr means ‘delightful, distinguished’ (Falk 1924, 20).
