Note to Sigv Austv 15I

[5] Nanna ‘Nanna <goddess>’: Wife of Óðinn’s son Baldr. Noreen (1922a, 21) points out that this is one of just seven instances in Sigvatr’s poetry in which a pagan deity is named. The woman addressed in the stanza is unidentified and the figure in the prose context seems to be no more than an extrapolation from the stanza.
