Litr

"Hue." Litr or Litur is the name of the dwarf who is kicked into Baldr's funeral pyre by Thor:

Then Thor stood by and hallowed the pyre with Mjöllnir; and before his feet ran a certain dwarf which was named Litr; Thor kicked at him with his foot and thrust him into the fire, and he burned.

The name also appears in the catalog of dwarfs in Völuspá, stanza 12.
