notes
[1] Hlín: This name means ‘defending one’ (cf. hlein f. ‘peaceful refuge’ and the weak verb hleina ‘save, protect’; AEW: Hlín). In Vsp 53/1-2 (see Dronke 1997, 149 and SnE 2005, 52, 70 n. 52/5), Hlín is a name for Frigg (see st. 1/3 above), although according to Gylf (SnE 2005, 30) she is Frigg’s messenger and her function is to protect people.
