Sál
Soul (probable Christian-era loan)
Sál — 'soul', probably a Christian-era loan into Old Norse from Latin (anima → animal-soul) or Old English (sāwol). Appears more frequently in late saga material and in homiletic texts than in the older Eddic poetry. Included here for completeness in the nine-part reconstruction with the explicit caveat that its pre-Christian status is doubtful.

Late saga material (various) (primary_canonical)
The citation intentionally points to late saga and homiletic material rather than a single canonical chapter: sál is a later Christian-era soul term in Old Norse usage. Because no one text is specified, it cannot establish a pre-Christian ninth component, and the file's caveat is essential.
