"What are the names of the air and of the winds? Air is called Yawning Void and Middle World, Bird-Abode, Wind-Abode. Wind is called Storm, Breeze, Gale, Tempest, Gust, Blowing. Thus does one read in Alsvinnsmál:
Wind 't is called among menfolk, And Waverer with the gods,— Neigher the great powers name it; Shrieker the giants, And Shouter elves call it; In Hel Clamorer 't is called.
The Wind is also called Blast.
