 | | And from Ymir came the dreadful brood of the frost giants, whom Ymir engendered by sweating a male and female from under his arms, and a son from both his legs when he slept. |
 | | From where she licked, a man's hair appeared on the first day, a whole head by the second, and by the third day, a whole man was freed from the ice and thus came the God Buri, and fathered Bor, who in turn fathered Odin, Vili, and Ve. |
 | | The flood from Ymir's blood killed all the giants, except Bergelmir and his family, who escaped in the first boat, out of a hollowed tree trunk, and ending up in Jotunheim, land of the giants. |
