[3] máni (m.) ‘moon’: The word is the only term for ‘moon’ that is frequently used in skaldic and eddic poetry. Perhaps this is the reason why, despite the fact that máni is not as commonly found as tungl ‘moon’ in prose, in Alv 14/1 it is attributed to the language of men and not of the gods (see Note to mulinn ‘crescent’, l. 4).
