Elena Gurevich (ed.) 2017, ‘Anonymous Þulur, Ásynja heiti 2’ in Kari Ellen Gade and Edith Marold (eds), Poetry from Treatises on Poetics. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 3. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 765.
Hlín ok Nanna, Hnoss, Rindr ok Sjǫfn,
Sól ok Sága, Sigyn ok Vǫr;
þá es Vár, ok Syn verðr at nefna,
en Þrúðr ok Rán þeim næst talið.
Hlín ok Nanna, Hnoss, Rindr ok Sjǫfn, Sól ok Sága, Sigyn ok Vǫr; þá es Vár, ok verðr at nefna Syn, en Þrúðr ok Rán talið næst þeim.
‘Hlín and Nanna, Hnoss, Rindr and Sjǫfn, Sól and Sága, Sigyn and Vǫr; then there is Vár, and Syn must be named, and Þrúðr and Rán [are] listed next to them. ’
Almost all the names of the goddesses listed here are commonly used as base-words in kennings for ‘woman’ and therefore also enumerated in Þul Kvenna II. The few exceptions are Hnoss (l. 2), Vár (l. 5) and Sigyn (l. 4). The former two do occur in kennings for ‘woman’, but they are not recorded in the list of Kvenna heiti ókend. Sigyn on the other hand, is never found in this type of kenning, but the name is mentioned in Þul Kvenna II.
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.
