In the <a href="/wiki/Gylfaginning" title="Gylfaginning">Gylfaginning</a>, first book of the <a href="/wiki/Prose_Edda" title="Prose Edda">prose Edda</a>, Óðinn is also styled <i>Þriði</i> "the third", in which case he appears by the side of <i><a href="/wiki/H%C3%A1rr" class="mw-redirect" title="Hárr">Hárr</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Jafnh%C3%A1rr" class="mw-redirect" title="Jafnhárr">Jafnhárr</a></i> (the "high" and the "even-high" or "co-equal"), as the "Third High". At other times, he is Tveggi "the second". In relation to the Óðinn-Vili-Vé triad, Grimm compares Old High German <i>willa</i>, which not only expressed <i>voluntas</i>, but also <i>votum, impetus, spiritus</i>, and the personification of Will, to <i>Wela</i> in Old English sources.<sup id="cite_ref-Grimm_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Grimm-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Keyser interprets the triad as "Spirit, Will and Holiness", postulating a kind of Germanic <a href="/wiki/Triad_(religion)" title="Triad (religion)">Trinity</a> in Vili and Vé to be "blended together again in the all-embracing World-spirit – in Odin.
