Búri (or Buri) was the first god in Norse mythology. He is the father of Borr and grandfather of Odin, Vili and Ve. He was formed by the cow Auðumbla licking the salty ice of Ginnungagap during the time of Ymir. The only extant source of this myth is Snorri Sturluson's ''Prose Edda''. Búri is mentioned nowhere in the ''Poetic Edda'' and only once in the skaldic corpus. In ''Skáldskaparmál'' Snorri Sturluson quotes the following verse by the 12th century skald Þórvaldr blönduskáld. ==Búri's name== The length of the u in the name is not explicitly marked in the manuscripts but it is traditionally assumed to be long because of its metrical position in Þórvaldr's stanza. However, the metrical structure of fornyrðislag is hardly strict enough for definite conclusions to be reached from a single occurrence - especially when the imperfect oral and manuscript traditions are taken into account. It is thus entirely possible that the original form was ''Buri''. The meaning of either ''Búri'' or ''Buri'' is not known. The first could be related to ''búr'' meaning "storage room" and the second could be related to ''burr'' meaning "son". "Buri" may mean "producer". In any case the form ''Buri'' is often used in an ASCII context or as an anglicization of ''Búri''. In the mainland Scandinavian languages ''Bure'' is used as a familiar form. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Búri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
