A male goat is called Grímnir and Geirǫlnir, Tanngnjóstr, chopper and Tanngrisnir, one looking around and rusher, buck, Grímr [is] counted.
[3] Tanngnjóstr: Lit. ‘tooth-gnasher’. The first element of the cpd is from tǫnn f. ‘tooth’ and the second is related to the weak verb gnísta ‘gnash’ and other onomatopoetic words such as the strong verb gnesta ‘crackle’ and the noun gnaust ‘noise’. Tanngnjóstr is one of the goats that pull Þórr’s chariot (Gylf, SnE 2005, 23). See also Tanngrisnir (l. 4).
