[5] Hymir: ‘[…]inn’ B, ‘hýrinn’ 744ˣ
[5] Hymir: The giant who accompanied Þórr when he attempted to catch and kill Miðgarðsormr, the World Serpent (Bragi Þórr; ÚlfrU Húsdr 3-6; Gylf, SnE 2005, 44-5; Hym). The name is used in kennings, but the meaning of the word is not clear. Hellquist (1903, 365) prefers ‘covering one’ from the root *(s)ku- (e.g. ModSwed., ModNorw., ModDan. hud ‘skin’) rather than the widely accepted connection with húm n. ‘dusk’ (for other explanations, see Motz 1987, 306 and AEW: Hymir).
