[1] beðja Glens ‘bedmate of Glenr <mythical being> [= Sól (sól ‘sun’)]’: Glenr is the husband of the sun, Sól, according to Gylf (SnE 2005, 13), the only other extant source to mention him (see Kock 1898, 264-5, for the etymology of the name). For the goddess Sól, see Þul Ásynja 2/3 and Note there.
