The incognito divine guest in a mortal house: the name is refused (or withheld) for the duration of the visit, and the moment of the name · asked for or finally spoken · coincides with fire, the god's departure, and mortal peril for the host.
Geirroth's tortured guest between the fires withholds his name for eight nights, then reveals it as sentence and departure at once · 'Now am I Othin, Ygg was I once' (st. 54) · and in the prose ending the king, realizing whom he has hosted, stumbles onto his own sword, 'and it pierced him through, and slew him. Odin then vanished.'
set against Judges 13:17-18
