Re: Ahah!

Yes, Sharku, all of the dwarf names are in The Seeress' Prophecy, which is part of the Elder Edda. Looking at it again, there is also a hall named Gimle and a giant named Mim. Anyway when I first read Tolkien about a year ago I noticed the names from the Edda and triumphantly asked this question to my Tolkien-phile brother, thinkng I would amaze him with my cross-reference; he answered in about two seconds "They're from the Elder Edda, ASK ME A TOUGH ONE". You M.E. lovers are hard to stump.
