Óðr
Óðr (Ódr), in
Norse Mythology, is the husband of goddess
Freyja and is father of Hnoss and Gersemi. Although the precise mythological meaning of the name is uncertain, the word itself means "wit, soul, spirit".
Snorri Sturluson wrote in his books as follows: "Freyja is ranked next to Frigg: she is wedded to a man called Óðr, and their daughter, named Hnossa, is so very handsome that whatever is beautiful and precious is called by her name (hnosir.) But Óðr left his wife in order to travel into very remote countries. Since that time Freyja continually weeps, and her tears are drops of pure gold. She has a great variety of names, for having gone over many countries in search of her husband, each people gave her a different name. She is thus called and Hörn, Gefn, Sýr, and also Vanadís." (The
Prose Edda, Gylfaginning (35), I. A. Blackwell's translation).

Oxford English Dictionary
Das Oxford English Dictionary (OED) ist ein sehr umfangreiches englisches
Wörterbuch, das den englischen Wortschatz und die Sprachentwicklung des letzten Jahrtausends umfasst. Ähnlich wie das
Grimmsche Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache enthält es sowohl die Etymologie als auch den Gebrauch der Wörter (Betonung, Zitate, Zeitraum des Gebrauchs). Herausgegeben wird das Oxford English Dictionary von
Oxford University Press (OUP). Es gibt bereits mehrere gedruckte Ausgaben und eine Online-Ausgabe. Es enthält etwa 600 000 Schlagwörter mit etwa 2,5 Millionen Anwendungsbeispielen in Zitaten. In diesem Wörterbuch wird der Versuch unternommen, soweit wie möglich alle bekannten Verwendungen und Varianten englischer Wörter aufzuzeichnen, beginnend von den frühesten Überlieferungen der englischen Sprache bis in die Gegenwart. An den Ausarbeitungen waren mehrere Generationen von Sprachforschern beteiligt, unter ihnen auch
J.R.R. Tolkien und
William C. Minor. Das Wörterbuch ist auch online zu erreichen, allerdings nicht kostenlos. Frei verfügbar ist das "Wort des Tages", in dem täglich ein anderes Wort und seine Erklärung zitiert wird.

Óðr
Óðr è un dio della
mitologia norrena. Appartiene alla stirpe dei
Vanir, è lo sposo di
Freyja e il padre di Hnoss e Gersimi.Non è stato trasmesso alcun mito che lo riguardi. Si dice solo che facesse lunghi viaggi, tanto che Freyja dapprima piangeva lacrime d'oro per la sua assenza, quindi si spingeva ella stessa a viaggiare tra popoli sconosciuti alla sua ricerca.Il nome di Óðr, che significa "invasato" o "posseduto", è verosimilmente legato alla stessa radice da cui deriva il nome del dio
Odino. Questo fatto e l'assenza di testimonianze di un suo culto inducono a pensare che in realtà Óðr sia una manifestazione secondaria dello stesso Odino, col quale condivide appunto l'abitudine ai lunghi viaggi. Da questo punto di vista la coppia Óðr-Odino trova un parallelo in quella formata dagli dei
Ullr e Ullinn.
