Mjölnir

In Norse mythology, Mjölnir (, )〔 is the hammer of Thor, a major Norse god associated with thunder. Mjölnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of leveling mountains. In his account of Norse mythology, Snorri Sturluson relates how the hammer was made by the dwarven brothers Sindri and Brokkr, and how its characteristically short handle was due to a mishap during its manufacture.
==Name==

Old Norse ''Mjǫllnir'' /'mjɔlːnir/ regularly becomes ''Mjøllnir'' /'mjœlːnir/ in Old Icelandic by the 13th century.〔''mjǫllnir'' in GKS 2367 4º (''Codex regius'', early 14th century), 298, 9420; ed. Ólafur Halldórsson 1982, Finnur Jónsson 1931. (Dictionary of Old Norse Prose ) (University of Copenhagen).〕
The modern Icelandic form is ''Mjölnir'', Norwegian and Danish ''Mjølner'', Swedish ''Mjölner''.
The name is derived from a Proto-Germanic form ''
*meldunjaz'', from the Germanic root of ''
*malanan
'' "to grind" (''
*melwan
'', Old Icelandic ''meldr, mjǫll, mjǫl'' "meal, flour"),〔
Old Norse ''mala'', Gothic, Old High German and Old Saxon ''malan'', compared to Lithuanian '' malŭ, malti'', Latvian ''maíu'', Old Church Slavonic ''meljǫ, mlěti'', Old Irish ''melim'', Greek μύλλω (μυλjω), Latin ''molō'' "to grind"; Sanskrit ''mr̥ṇā́ti'' "to crush, smash, slay".
Grimm, ''Deutsches Wörterbuch'';
Derksen (2008), ''Etymological Dictionary of the Slavic Inherited Lexicon'', p. 307.〕 yielding an interpretation of "the grinder; crusher".
Additionally, there is a suggestion that the mythological "thunder weapon" being named after the word for "grindstone" is of considerable, Proto-Indo-European (if not Indo-Hittite) age;
according to this suggestion, the divine thunder weapon (identified with lightning) of the storm god was imagined as a grindstone (Russian ''molot'' and possibly Hittite ''malatt-'' "sledgehammer, bludgeon"), reflected in Russian молния (''molniya'') and Welsh ''mellt'' "lightning" (possibly cognate with Old Norse ''mjuln'' "fire").〔Turville-Petre, E.O.G. ''Myth and Religion of the North: The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia''. London: Weidfeld and Nicoson, 1998. p. 81.
"It is tempting to postulate a base-meaning (Hittite ''malatt-'' "(sledge)hammer, bludgeon, cudgel, club, mace" ) 'mill(ing), grindstone' () grindstones as divine thunder weapons: OCS ''mlatu'', Russian ''molot'' '(sledge)hammer', Russian ''molnija'' and Welsh ''mellt'' 'lightning', Thor's 'hammer' ''Möllnir'' and the Latvian ''Perkons with his ''milna'' () Cf. Puhvel, Comparative Mythology 226-7 ()"
Jaan Puhvel (2004), ''Hittite Etymological Dictionary: Words beginning with M'', Walter de Gruyter, s.v. ''malatt-'', p. 28.

In the Old Norse texts, Mjölnir is identified as ''hamarr'' "a hammer", a word that in Old Norse and some modern Norwegian dialects can mean "hammer" as well as "stone, rock, cliff", ultimately derived from an Indo-European word for "stone, stone tool", ''h₂éḱmō''; as such it is cognate with Sanskrit ''aśman'', meaning "stone, rock, stone tool; hammer" as well as "thunderbolt".〔Julius Pokorny, ''Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch'' (1959).〕
