The following entry has been hand-corrected once.

ÓÐR, m., gen. óðs and óðar, [totally different from the preceding word, but akin to Ulf. wods in weit-'wods' = GREEK, weit-wodan = GREEK, weit-wodiþa, weit-wodei = GREEK; cp. also Icel. æði = sense, wit, manner, answering to the Goth. weit-wodei] :-- mind, wit, soul, sense, Lat. mens, Gr. GREEK; the old Vsp. distinguishes between three parts of the human soul, -- önd, óðr, and læ, spirit, mind, and craft(?); the önd was breathed into man by Odin, the óðr by Hænir, the læ by Löðurr; the faculty of speech seems also to be included in the óðr. The tale in Plato's Protagoras is an interesting illustration of the Northern legend as briefly told (and only there) in Vsp. 17, 18: tryggva óð, hafa góðan óð, to be of good cheer, Nj. (in a verse). 2. song, poetry; bragr, hróðr, óðr, mærð, lof, Edda 95 :-- metre, sá er óðinn skal vandan velja, Lil. 98; óðar-smiðr, a 'song-smith' = poet, Eg. (in a verse); óðar-ár, 'speech-oar,' Geisli 37; and óðar-lokarr, 'speech-plane,' i.e. the tongue, Edda (in a verse); óðar-rann, mind's abode, Likn. 1. óð-borg, f, 'mind's-borough' = the breast, Harms, 1. óð-gerð, f. versification, Geisli. II. Óðr, the husband of Freyja, Vsp. 29; in the tale in Edda of Freyja, she wanders over the earth seeking for her lost husband and weeping for him golden tears, (answering to the Gr. tales of Demeter as told in the Homeric hymn.)
