Norse inspiration for Tolkien (4)

I believe the answer is:

edda

(Other definitions for edda that I've seen before include "Ancient Icelandic writings" , "Collection of myths" , "Old Icelandic book" , "Norse poem collection" , "One of the two old Icelandic poetic books" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
