[3] Hár: This name means ‘high one’, which is an odd name for a dwarf. A dwarf of this name, which is otherwise known as an Óðinn-heiti, is also mentioned in Vsp 15/3 (spelled Hárr ‘grey, old, hoary one’ in Gylf, SnE 2005, 16, which might be the correct form of the heiti). For other possible interpretations, see Note to Þul Óðins 2/8.
