[4] Hlóðynjar ‘Hlóðyn <earth>’: Hlóðyn (or Hlǫðyn) is a name for Jǫrð, mother of Þórr and consort of Óðinn (LP: Hlǫðyn), and occurs as a heiti for ‘earth’ in Þul Jarðar 1/2 (see Note there) and Vsp 56/2. As in Eskál Vell 26/3I, Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) conjectured Hlǫðvinjar for metrical reasons, but this is not supported by any ms. and can be avoided by using the form Hlóðyn.
