Note 3 — V. THE IVALDE RACE.
Rasmus Björn Anderson translation
In strophe 8 Fjolsvin says of Menglad:
Menglöd of heitir, en hana módir of gat vid Svafrthorins syni.
Svafr alone, or as a part of a compound, indicates a Vana-god. According to an account narrated as history in Fornaldersaga (i. 415), a daughter of Thjasse was married to "king" Svafrlami. In the mythology it is Freyja's father, the Vana-god Njord, who gets Thjasse's daughter for his wife. The Sun-song (str. 79, 80) mentions Njord's daughters together with Svafr and Svafrlogi. The daughters are nine, like Menglad and her dises.
