 However, "auðr" can also mean 'fate' and 'desolate; desert,' and so "Auðhum(b)la" may also have been understood as the 'destroyer of the desert'.This semantic ambiguity may have been intentional.Auðumbla's sole attested narrative occurs in the "Gylfaginning" section of the "Prose Edda", and her name appears among ways to refer to cows later in the "Nafnaþulur" section of the book.
