The Goth. , OHG. , , AS. gen. , denote peace, friendship, kindred; from these I infer a divinity "Sibja", "Sippia", "Sib", corresponding to ON. gen. , the wife of Thôrr, for the ON. too has a pl. meaning cognatio, sifi amicus (OHG. , ), sift genus, cognatio. By this sense of the word, "Sif" would appear to be, like Frigg and Freyja, a goddess of loveliness and love; as attributes of Oðinn and Thôrr agree, their wives Frigg and Sif have also a common signification.
