‘Now all the Ásynjur shall be named: Frigg and Freyja, Fulla and Snotra, Gerðr and Gefjun, Gná, Lofn, Skaði, Jǫrð and Iðunn, Ilmr, Bil, Njǫrun. ’
Most of the names of Ásynjur listed in st. 1 frequently occur as base-words in kennings for ‘woman’: Freyja (l. 3), Fulla (l. 4), Gerðr (l. 5), Gná, Lofn (l. 6), Jǫrð (l. 7), Ilmr, Bil and Njǫrun (l. 8). They are therefore also included in Þul Kvenna II (i.e. the list of Kvenna heiti ókend).
Text is based on reconstruction from the base text and variant apparatus and may contain alternative spellings and other normalisations not visible in the manuscript text. Transcriptions may not have been checked and should not be cited.
