Nafnaþulur

Nafnaþulur ( Old Norse : [?n?vn??θulur] ) is a subsection of the Prose Edda , the last part of the Skaldskaparmal . It is a listing in verse of names that may be used in poetry for various items, such as gods , jotnar , people, animals, and weapons.

The verses are not in all manuscripts of the Edda and appear independently, and are probably a later addition to Snorri's original composition; ^[1] they may have been one of its sources. ^[2]^[3] They are often omitted from editions and translations of the Edda .
