[2] blóð Ymis ‘Ymir’s <giant’s> blood [SEA]’: A kenning dependent on an Old Norse creation myth, in which the god Óðinn and his two brothers Vili and Vé murder the primeval giant Ymir and fashion the cosmos from his body-parts. They make the sea from his blood. The myth is narrated in Gylf (SnE 2005, 10-12) and alluded to in several poems of the Poetic Edda.
