Hliðskjálf
nafnorðkvenkynHlið-skjálf
, old hliðskjálfu, (prose): [ rather to be derived from hlið, gate, than hlið, side; the initial h is borne out by alliteration, Sagði hitt er hugði | Hliðskjálfar gramr …, (in a verse); in 14 the sense and alliteration alike require höll, hall, instead of ‘land’]:—a shelf, bench, a name for the seat of Odin, whence he looked out over all the worlds, 6, 12, 22, 30, ; Óðinn ok Frigg sátu í Hliðskjálfu ok sá um heima alla, The heathen Hlið-skjálf brings to mind the legend in Grimm’s Märchen of the Tailor in Heaven.
