Solutions by Emil Doepler 1905
"Bragi answered: "These were the beginnings thereof. The Gods had a dispute with the folk which are called Vanir, and they appointed a peace-meeting between them and established peace in this way: they each went to a vat and spat their spittle therein. Then at parting the Gods took that peace-token and would not let it perish, but shaped thereof a man. This man is called Kvasir, and he was so wise that none could question him concerning anything but that he knew the solution. He went up and down the earth to give instruction to men..."
--Skáldskaparmál, Chapter 1
