notes

[8] Kári: Lit. ‘gust of wind’. This is one of the three sons of the giant Fornjótr and the personification of the wind (cf. Flat 1860-8, I, 21; see also ÍO: kári and SnE 1998, I, 39/13-15, 183 n., as well as Notes to Þul Jǫtna I 3/5, Þul Elds 1/3-4 and Sveinn Norðrdr 2/2). The heiti does not occur in skaldic poetry, but it appears as a term for ‘wind’ in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: kári).
