Origin of VRI¹

Latin: Victoria, Queen and Empress

Varuna and the demon Vitri both derive their names from var, vri, to cover, to enfold.

Bǫvarr gengr angat til ok spyrr, hverr ar vri beinahrgunni; var honum svarat ok heldr framliga: "Hǫttr heiti ek, Bokki sll."

Hann spuri, hvert Grettir tlai at fara; en hann segiz ar vilja vera um nttina, ef bnda lkai, at sv vri.

Var komit at kveldi, ok sagi prestr vsliga, at Grettir vri daur; ok sagi, at mikill skai vri eptir vlkan mann.

Hon heyri brak mikit fjsit, ok beljan ǫskurliga; hon hljp inn œpandi ok kvaz eigi vita, hver dœmi um vri fjsinu.
