notes
[2] Ásabragr: The meaning of this name is either ‘chief of the gods’ or ‘the best of the gods’ (cf. bragi m. ‘chief’, Bragi, the name of the god of poetry, and bragnar m. pl. ‘men’; see Notes to Þul Ása I l. 10, Þul Ása II l. 8 and Þul Manna 2/1). Other than in the present þula, ásabragr (or ása bragr) is found only in Skí 33/2. According to Sijmons and Gering (S-G I, 232), in Skí the word ought to be taken as a common noun referring to Óðinn rather than to Þórr, and it could well have been transferred to the present list of names for Þórr as a result of a misunderstanding of that eddic stanza (see also Kommentar I, 85). However, Ásaþórr (Hárb 52/1, Gylf, Skm) is another, widely used name for Þórr, which also represents him as a god of the Æsir family (see also the discussion in ARG II, 150).
