Thjasse is called _thórs ofrunni_ or _thórs ofrúni_, "he who made Thor run," or "he who was Thor's friend," and "_midjungr_," a word the meaning of which it is of no importance to investigate in connection with the question under consideration.

The half strophe thus interpreted gives the most logical connection, and gives three causes and three results: (1) Loke was able to use his eloquent tongue in speaking to Thjasse, since the latter ceased to fly before Loke was torn into pieces; (2) Thor's _ofrunni_ or _ofrúni_ ended his air-journey, because he, though a very powerful person, felt that he had over-exerted himself; (3) he felt wearied because Loke, with whom he had been flying, was heavy.

But from this it follows with absolute certainty that the skald, with Thor's _ofrunni_ or _ofrúni_, meant Thjasse and not Loke, as has hitherto been supposed.

According to this reading Thjasse must at some time have been Thor's _ofrúni_, that is, Thor's confidential friend.
