Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "Dúrnir was a dwarf who appears in three Old Norse skaldic poems, which suggests that he once was a well-known dwarf in Norse mythology.The most notable poem is Ynglingatal:He also appears in a list of Dwarves in the anonymous Dverga heiti:Alþjófr, austri,aurvangr ok dúfr,ái, andvari,ónn ok draupnir,dori ok dagfinnr,dulinn ok ónarr,alfr ok dellingr,óinn ok durnir.The third poem is found in Laufás-Edda:Kveða skal hróðr fyr hríðarhræ-blakks viðum sævar,drykkr var Durnis rekkumdøkkr, ljósara nøkkvi.Snorri also includes Dúrnir in a list of giants in the Skáldskaparmál section of his Prose Edda (Faulkes translation, p. 157).It is possible that the name Durnir is an emendation (or a case variety) of Durinn, mentioned as the father of dvarfs in Dvergatal. Both names mean door, or door-warden. The names Durinn og Durnir do not appear in the same texts. The Norwegian translation of Ynglinga Saga from 1900 uses the name of Durinn instead of Durnir."@en }
