Air and wind 
 
 
Hver eru heiti lopts ok veðranna?  Lopt heitir ginnungagap ok meðalheimr, foglheimr, veðrheimr.  Veðr heitir hregg, byrr, glygg, hret, gjósta, vindr. 
LVIII. “What are the names of the air and of the winds?  Air is called Yawning Void and Middle World, Bird-Abode, Wind-Abode.  Wind is called Storm, Breeze, Gale, Tempest, Gust, Blowing. 
     
Svá segir í Alsvinnsmálum:
(332) Vindr heitir með mǫnnum
en vǫnsuðr með goðum,
kalla gneggjuð ginnregin,
œpi kalla jǫtnar
en álfar gnýfara;
heitir í Helju hlummuðr. 
Thus does one read in Alsvinnsmál:
Wind ‘t is called among menfolk,
And Waverer with the gods,--
Neigher the great powers name it;
Shrieker the giants,
And Shouter elves call it;
In Hel Clamorer ‘t is called. 
 
Veðr heitir ok gustr. 
The Wind is also called Blast.
