Hugi— “mind”
The two ravens who sat on Odin’s shoulders, and revealed to him all that passed in the world, were Huginn and Munninn, thought and memory; and when Thor made his famous visit to Utgard, it was Hugi, or thought, alone that was swift enough to outstrip him in the race. At Tours, the Northern Lights are _le carrosse du roi Hugues_, perhaps originally from some connection with speed of thought, though latterly mixed up with Hugues Capet.
