Nú skal yppa Óðins nǫfnum: Atríðr, Auðun, ok Aldafǫðr, Gizurr, Kjalarr, Gautr, Viðrímnir, Gǫllorr, Grímnir, Ginnarr, Hnikuðr.
Now I shall announce Óðinn’s names: Atríðr, Auðun and Aldafǫðr, Gizurr, Kjalarr, Gautr, Viðrímnir, Gǫllorr, Grímnir, Ginnarr, Hnikuðr.
[7] Gǫllorr: A hap. leg., lit. ‘clanging one’, from the noun gǫll f. ‘shriek, clang’. Gǫll means ‘battle’ as well, and it is also the name of a valkyrie. Hence Gǫllorr is an Óðinn-heiti connected with the names of valkyries (see Gǫll in Þul Valkyrja 1/5; cf. Falk 1924, 42-3). See also the variant forms of this name, Gǫllnir in st. 3/7 and Gǫllungr in st. 5/5 below. Neither Gǫllorr nor Gǫllungr is attested either in Grí or in other sources.
