[3] svarðfestum Sifjar ‘Sif’s <goddess’s> scalp-cords [HAIR > GOLD]’: This unique gold-kenning (cf. Meissner 226) depends upon a myth told in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 41-2) in which the god Loki once cut off the hair of Sif, wife of the god Þórr. The latter flew into a rage and demanded that Loki produce a substitute head of golden hair for Sif which would grow from her scalp as if it were natural. Loki managed to get some dwarfs to manufacture such an object, along with other precious possessions that the gods came to own.
