Þund

"The Swollen", "The Roaring." The river that surrounds Valhalla, mentioned in the eddic poem Grímnismál:

Thund roars;

joyful in Thiodvitnir's

water lives the fish;

the rapid river

seems too great

for the battle-steed to ford.

The fish in Þióðvitnir's water is presumably the sun, caught by the wolf Sköll, Þióðvitnir meaning "the mighty wolf."
