[7]: Jón Helgason (Hl 1941) regards lét ‘let’ and ‑brjótr ‘breaker’ as the rhyming syllables (rather than auð-). Because the metre is so irregular, this cannot be ascertained. The proposition is unlikely, however, in view of the relative consistency with which the auð-rhymes occur in the second helmingr, and sts 23-4 are too fragmentary to determine whether the second rhyme as a rule fell on the ultimate rather than on the penultimate syllable in the odd lines.
