of

A.
The
god
Thor,
the
god
of
thunder,
keeper
of
the
hammer,
the
ever-fighting
slayer
of
trolls
and
destroyer
of
evil
spirits,
the
friend
of
mankind,
the
defender
of
the
earth,
the
heavens,
and
the
gods,
for
without
Thor
and
his
hammer
the
earth
would
become
the
helpless
prey
of
the
giants.
He
was
the
consecrator,
the
hammer
being
the
cross
or
holy
sign
of
the
ancient
heathen,
hence
the
expressive
phrase
on
a
heathen
Danish
Runic
stone,
Þurr
vigi
þassi
runar,
'Thor,
consecrate
these
Runes!'
Rafn

Thor
was
the
son
of
mother
Earth;
blunt,
hot-tempered,
without
fraud
or
guile,
of
few
words
and
ready
stroke,
--
such
was
Thor,
the
favourite
deity
of
the
ancients.
The
finest
legends
of
the
Edda,
-
and
the
best
lays
(the
lays
of
Hymir,
Thrym,
and
Harbard)
refer
to
Thor,

COMPDS
OF
PROPER
NAMES.
--
The
name
of
Thor
has
always
been
thought
to
sound
well,
and
is
much
used
in
pr.
names;
(hann
átti)
son
er
Steinn
hét,
þann
svein
gaf
Þórólfr
Þór
vin
símim
ok
kallaði
Þorstein,
Eb.;
uncompd
only
in
the
form
Þórir
of
a
man,
Þóra
of
a
woman,
but
common
in
compds,
where
in
mod.
usage
the
vowel
is
sounded
long
before
a
vowel,
and
before
b
and
d,
elsewhere
short,
but
in
old
times
it
was
no
doubt
ó
throughout;
--
thus,
as
a
prefix,
Þór-álfr,
Þórólfr,
Þórarr,
Þór-arinn,
Þór-oddr,
Þór-haddr,
Þór-halli,
Þór-hallr;

usage),

Þor-mundr
(Dan.
Runic

Þor-steinn
(sounded

in

all

three
demand
special
mention,
viz.
Þórðr,
being
a
contr.
qs.
Þór-røðr
(as
Bárðr
=

the

form
occurs
in
poems
of
the
10th
century,
e.g.
Þórröðr
vinon
óra,
Korm.
132;
so
Sighvat
calls
his
own
father
Þórröðr
(dissyll.).
yet
he
makes
it
rhyme
as
if
contracted
(Þorröðr
er
var
forðum),
so
Þorðr
skor
Bjarn.
(in
