====''Fjölsvinnsmál''==== In the poem ''[[Fjölsvinnsmál]]'', a stanza mentions Loki (as ''Lopt'') in association with [[runic alphabet|runes]]. In the poem, Fjölsviðr describes to the hero [[Svipdagr]] that [[Sinmara]] keeps the weapon [[Lævateinn]] within a chest, locked with [[Numbers in Germanic paganism|nine strong locks]] (due to significant translation differences, two translations of the stanza are provided here): {{poemquote| {{aligned table|col2style=padding-left:1em |''Fjolsvith spake:'' "Lævatein is there, that Lopt with runes Once made by the doors of death; In Lægjarn's chest by Sinmora lies it, And nine locks fasten it firm."{{sfnp|Bellows|1936|p=245}} |''Fiolsvith.'' Hævatein the twig is named, and Lopt plucked it, down by the gate of Death. In an iron chest it lies with Sinmœra, and is with nine strong locks secured.{{sfnp|Thorpe|1907|pp=96–97}} }} }}
