This source is the first to name Baldur. His horse is the subject of the verse. In the first line, Phol and Odin (Baldur's father) ride into the woods. With them is Odin's wife and Baldur's mother, Frigg. Thus we suspect that this may be a family outing. If so, Phol is probably an alternate name for the god Baldur. It is not unusual that a god be designated by two names in the space of a single verse. There is some evidence that a god known as Phol and Fal was worshipped among the continental Germans (see Grimm's Teutonic Mythology). Snorri associates Baldur with the region of West-phalia, which may be formed from the same name.

, and her sister Fulla. And some unknown: Phol, and Sihntgunt. The latter we can identify by her sister, Sunna (the sun). Sihntgunt (which may mean "she who battles her way at night") is likely the moon. Since she rides closest to Baldur, we might surmise that she is identical to Nanna, Baldur's wife. Sunna is her sister. Vafthrudnismal speaks of a daughter of Sol who will take her place after Ragnarök. Similarly, Nanna might have been conceived as a daughter of the moon god, Mani. The name Sihntgunt does not appear elsewhere.
