Laufey þú mátt ekki vera rokin eitthvað aftur áður en ég kem til rvk.
Hei Laufey, í Reykjavík er djamm úr sögunni, enda boring, nú er það nýja að hittast á Ketamíni, þar sem áfengisbann varð Í Reykjavík rétt eftir að þú fórst, og þá braust út ketamín æði, ertu game í smá ketamín sveiflu þegar þú kemur
Laufey, þú mátt ekki gera grín af geitinni!
Loki's Family (502 words)
In the Poetic Edda, Loki is referred to as "Laufey´s son" in Trymskvida st.20 and in Lokasenna st.52, and the kennings of Voluspá st.51 and Hyndluljó st.40: "Byleistr´s brother", give further evidence to his relation with Byleistr.
The only time Farbauti is mentioned in the eddas is in the passage quoted above, whereas Laufey´s name is used in kennings in the Poetic Edda as mentioned, in addition to her being mentioned in Snorri´s Edda.
The meaning of Laufey, on the other hand, is more problematic, and to correctly define her name as "`lövjerska´,a woman who fiddles with medicines and herbs, seems uncertain" (Rooth 1962 p.173).
