Mjölnir
nafnorðkarlkyn
, in the vellums spelt mjollnir, with o and ll (see Bugge in the foot-note to 51); the ll seems to indicate that the n is radical, for if it were inflexive, it would be mjolnir (with one l): [therefore the derivation from mala or mola (to crush), though probable, is not certain; the word may be akin to milhma = cloud, moln, mulm; Norse molnas () = to grow dark from bands of cloud arising]:—the name of Thor’s hammer, passim,
