Lóðurr is a god in Norse mythology. In the ''Poetic Edda'' poem ''Völuspá'' he is assigned a role in animating the first humans, but apart from that he is hardly ever mentioned, and remains obscure. Scholars have variously identified him with Loki, Vé, Vili and Freyr, but consensus has not been reached on any one theory. == Name and etymology == The name's meaning is unknown. It has been speculatively linked to various Old Norse words, such as ''lóð'', "fruit, land", ''ljóðar'', "people" and ''laða'', "to attract". The Gothic words ''liudan'', "to grow" and ''laudi'', "shape", as well as the German word ''lodern'', "to blaze", have also been mentioned in this context. The metrical position of Lóðurr's name in the skaldic poem ''Íslendingadrápa'', composed in the strict dróttkvætt metre, indicates that it contains the sound value /ó/ rather than /o/. This evidence, while strong, is not incontrovertible and some scholars have held out for a ''Loðurr'' reading. Lóðurr's name can be represented or anglicized as ''Lóður'', ''Lódurr'', ''Lódur'', ''Lóthurr'', ''Lóthur'', ''Lódhurr'', ''Lódhur'', ''Lodurr'', ''Lodur'', ''Lothurr'', ''Lothur'', ''Lodhurr'', ''Loðurr'', ''Loður'' or ''Lodhur''. Both Swedish Lördag and Finnish Lauantai possibly etymologize from Lóður Dag, meaning "Saturday". 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「Lóðurr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
