Stanza 7: Freyja corrects the giantess Hyndla, explaining that her mount is not her human lover Óttarr, but her boar Hildisvíni, which was crafted by dwarves and has golden bristles.
Author's Note: Cf. Freyr’s dwarf-made boar Gullinbu(r)sti ‘Golden-Bristled’, mentioned in SnEGylf (49, p. 47), SnESkáld (I, 7, p. 18; 35, p. 42); Húsdr. 7.
‘You’re deluded, Hyndla, I think you’re dreaming,
when you say it’s my man on the slaughter-road!
There’s my glowing gelded boar, golden-bristled,
Hildisvíni, which skilful ones made for me,
two dwarves, Dáinn and Nabbi.
