Note to Þul Vargs 1III
[6] Fenrir: The mythical monster wolf (e.g. Vsp 40/4), son of Loki and the giantess Angrboða, otherwise called Fenrisúlfr (see also Þul Jǫtna II 3/3). The etymology of Fenrir is obscure. For Fenrir, see also Notes to Þjóð Yt 7/5-6I, Eyv Hák 20/3I, Eyv Lv 6/1I and Anon Eirm 7/4I. In skaldic poetry, this mythical name appears as a heiti for ‘wolf’ in general.
