Barri description |
---|
In Norse mythology, Barri is the place where Freyr and Gerðr are to consummate their union, as stated in the Skírnismál: * Barri the grove is named, * which we both know, * the grove of tranquil paths. * Nine nights hence, * there to Niörds son * Gerd will grant delight.* För Skirnis eðr Skirnismál (39), Thorpe's translation * * In Snorri Sturluson's account of the myth (found in Gylfaginning, 37), the place is called Barrey or Barey: * And nine nights later she was to come to the place called Barrey, and then go to the bridal with Freyr. * * Gylfaginning (37), Brodeur's translation * * The meaning of the name is uncertain. Barri is called a grove (lundr) but Bar(r)ey is probably an island (ey being the Old Norse for "island") and could be connected with Barra, one of the Hebrides islands, which was once called Barrey. The meaning of the first part of the name, barr, is not very enlightening for it has several meanings: "pine needle", "conifer", "tree" or "grain", especially "barley". Magnus Olsen suggested |
