This
þula (
Þul Veðra) contains
heiti for ‘wind’ and it is recorded in mss A (main ms.) and B (and
744ˣ) of
Skm (
SnE). In both mss, the
þula has the heading
Veðra heiti ‘Names for wind’ (in A, as usual, written in red ink). In the
þulur-sequence,
Þul Veðra is preceded by Þul
Himins II and followed by
Þul Elds. Six of the
heiti in the present
þula are recorded in the prose list of terms for ‘weather’ in
Skm (
SnE 1998,
I, 90), i.e.
veðr,
byrr ‘gale, fair breeze’ (l. 1),
vindr ‘wind’ (l. 2),
glygg,
gustr ‘tempest, gust’ (l. 3) and
hregg ‘hailstorm’ (l. 8). An additional four
heiti occur in the stanza from
Alv cited in
Skm to illustrate such
heiti (
loc. cit.), and another ten
heiti from the present list are added to the prose list of
Skm in ms. A(14v) (see Notes below). The
þula is not included in
LaufE, but eight of the
heiti are given in RE 1665(Ll3) under terms for ‘wind’, and some of these must have been taken from the
þula because they are not present in the prose of
Skm.
