Question

In a 19th-century folk saying, this mythological figure is said to “sow his oats” or “herd his goats” (10[1])when heat shimmers are visible in the spring. This figure’s name is likely derived from his association with knots and tangles. This figure adds the cursed ring Andvaranaut to a wergild (“VAIR-gild”) for Ótr. (10[1])After stealing one object possibly called the “singing stone,” this god fights a golden-toothed god in the form of a seal. In a namesake poem, this god accuses Sif (10[1])of adultery during a long sequence of insults (-5[1])directed towards (10[1])the other gods. (10[1])After losing a bet for his head, this god claims that he never (10[1])offered any part of his neck (10[1])and has his mouth sewn shut instead. This god commissions the sons of Ivaldi to replace Sif’s golden hair, which he cut off as a prank. For 10 points, name this Norse trickster god. ■END■ (10[1])
