Gleipner, also known as Gleipnir, as known in Norse Mythology, was the bindings that held the mighty Fenrir (also known as Fenris, The Fenris Wolf, or Fenrisulfr). It was forged by the dwarves, and made of six wondrous ingredients:
The Sound of a Cat's Footfall The Beard of a Woman
Headline text
The Roots of a Mountain The Sinews of a Bear (meaning nerves) The Breath of a Fish The Spittle of a Bird
Thus we no longer hear a cat's footfall, women have no beards, mountains have no roots, bears no sinews, fish no breath, and birds no spittle.
Gleipner, having bound Fenrir securely, was the cause of Tyr's lost arm, for Fenrir bit it off when he was not freed.
