Gylfaginning, or the Tricking of Gylfi ( c. 20, 000 words ), is the first part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda after Prologue.

The Háttatal ( c. 20, 000 words ) is the last section of the Prose Edda composed by the Icelandic poet, politician, and historian Snorri Sturluson.

* In the Skáldskaparmál section of Snorri Sturluson's Edda Snorri brings in the ancient king Halfdan the Old who is the father of nine sons whose names are all words meaning ' king ' or ' lord ' in Old Norse and nine other sons who are the forefathers of various royal lineages, including " Yngvi, from whom the Ynglings are descended ".

Rudolf Simek says that Snorri may have derived his etymology of Sjöfn from the Old Norse words sefi (" sense ") or from sefi ( possibly " relation "), but that the scant references to Sjöfn do not allow for much more of an elaborate explanation for the goddess.

First it tells about the Æsir and Ymir, then comes the poetic diction section with the poetic names of many things and lastly a poem called the List of Meters which Snorri composed about King Hakon and Duke Skuli.

An important source of information about poetic forms in Old Norse is the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson.

Rudolf Simek says that the etymology that Snorri presents in Gylfaginning for the name Gná may not be correct, yet it is unclear what the name may otherwise mean, though Gná has also been etymologically theorized as a " goddess of fullness.

Orchard theorizes that, otherwise, Snorri may have had access to a lost source, and that the little information Snorri presents may be derived from the meaning of her name.

Snorri ’ s expression kend heiti " qualified terms " appears to be synonymous with kenningar, although Brodeur applies this more specifically to those periphrastic epithets which don ’ t come under his strict definition of kenning.

However, Snorri Sturluson, writing in the 13th century, understood heiti in a broader sense that could include kennings.

The word was adopted into English in the nineteenth century from medieval Icelandic treatises on poetics, in particular the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson, and derives ultimately from the Old Norse verb kenna “ know, recognise ; perceive, feel ; show ; teach ; etc .”, as used in the expression kenna við “ to name after ; to express thing in terms of ”, “ name after ; refer to in terms of ”, and kenna til “ qualify by, make into a kenning by adding ”.

Snorri ’ s own usage, however, seems to fit the looser sense: “ Snorri uses the term " kenning " to refer to a structural device, whereby a person or object is indicated by a periphrastic description containing two or more terms ( which can be a noun with one or more dependent genitives or a compound noun or a combination of these two structures )” ( Faulkes ( 1998 a ), p. xxxiv ).

Snorri draws the line at mixed metaphor, which he terms nykrat “ made monstrous ” ( Snorri Sturluson: Háttatal 6 ), and his nephew called the practice löstr “ a fault ” ( Óláfr hvítaskáld: Third Grammatical Treatise 80 ).

Moreover, artistic license permitted such terms to be used for mortal women in Old Norse poetry, or to quote Snorri Sturluson's Skáldskaparmál on the various names used for women:

At a point in dialogue between the skaldic god Bragi and Ægir, Snorri himself begins speaking of the myths in euhemeristic terms and states that the historical equivalent of Víðarr was the Trojan hero Aeneas who survived the Trojan War and went on to achieve " great deeds ".

Later in Skáldskaparmál, Snorri includes Níðhöggr in a list of various terms and names for swords.

Snorri then gives examples from skaldic verse where these names are used as general terms for ' lord ' or ' ruler '.

By this time, he had according to Snorri Sturluson become the " leader over all the Varangians ".

In contrast, continuing the same journal thread, Leszek P. Słupecki argues that the Vanir remained distinct from the Æsir — except for Freyja and Freyr, whom he follows Snorri in seeing as having been born after Njörðr became a hostage among the Æsir, and thus regards as Æsic — and therefore that Ragnarök " no importance for their world ".

Snorri states that Thor married Sif, and that she is known as " a prophetess called Sibyl, though we know her as Sif ".

Although he lists her own ancestors as unknown, Snorri writes that Thor and Sif produced a son by the name of Lóriði, who " took after his father ".

In the pseudo-historical genealogy of Odin's ancestors in the introduction to Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, a certain Athra is said to be he " whom we call Annar ".

But rather oddly Snorri immediately follows this with information on what should be four other personages who were not sons of Halfdan but who also fathered dynasties and names the first of these as " Yngvi, from whom the Ynglings are descended ".

More precisely, Snorri Sturluson explained that " heið-money is the name of the wages or gift which chieftains give ".

In Norse mythology, Domalde, Dómaldi or Dómaldr ( Old Norse possibly " Power to Judge ") was a Swedish king of the House of Ynglings, cursed by his stepmother, according to Snorri Sturluson, with ósgæssa, " ill-luck ".

According to Snorri, Gudrød was called both " the Magnificent " and " the Hunter ", while Ynglingatal only refers to him as " the Magnificent ".

In 1220 AD ( c .), in the Skáldskaparmál section of Edda, Snorri Sturluson discusses King Halfdan the Old, Nór's great-grandson, and nine of his sons who are the forefathers of various royal lineages, including " Yngvi, from whom the Ynglings are descended ".

According to the Gylfaginning section of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Nótt is the daughter of the jötunn " Nörfi or Narfi ".

Cells showing linear spatial summation are termed X cells ( also called parvocellular, P, or midget ganglion cells ), and those showing non-linear summation are Y cells ( also called magnocellular, M, or parasol retinal ganglion cells ), although the correspondence between X and Y cells ( in the cat retina ) and P and M cells ( in the primate retina ) is not as simple as it once seemed.

If the cipher operates on single letters, it is termed a simple substitution cipher ; a cipher that operates on larger groups of letters is termed polygraphic.

When the brain is led to believe that the saccades it is generating are too large or too small ( by an experimental manipulation in which a saccade-target steps backwards or forwards contingent on the eye movement made to acquire it ), saccade amplitude gradually decreases ( or increases ), an adaptation ( also termed gain adaptation ) widely seen as a simple form of motor learning, possibly driven by an effort to correct visual error.

Furthermore the payments are generally dependent on the farmer fulfilling certain environmental or animal welfare requirements so as to encourage responsible, sustainable farming in what is termed ' multifunctional ' agricultural subsidies-that is, the social, environmental and other benefits from subsidies that do not include a simple increase in production.

Later maps of the 1930s through 1960s brought the colors portrayed into line with the accepted definitions of the various races at that time according to physical anthropology ( rather than simple external skin color alone as in this 1920 map ) and one later map classified North African s, Middle Easterner s, the Iranian peoples, and South Asians as being white, Turkish peoples as being yellow, and restricted the brown category to those now called Austronesian s, who were termed the Malayan race.
