The Edda I The Divine Mythology of the North By Winifred Faraday, M.A. Published by David Nutt, at the Sign of the Phœnix, Long Acre, London 1902 Author's Note Some explanation is needed of the form of spelling I have adopted in transcribing Norse proper names. The spirants þ and ð are represented by th and d, as being more familiar to readers unacquainted with the original. Marks of vowel-length are in all cases omitted. The inflexional -r of the nominative singular masculine is also omitted, whether it appears as -r or is assimilated to a preceding consonant (as in Odinn, Eysteinn, Heindall, Egill) in the Norse form, with the single exception of the name Tyr, where I use the form which has become conventional in English. Manchester, December 1901.
