[3] vetrliði skíða ‘the bear of planks [SHIP]’: Vetrliði (lit. ‘winter-walker’; see the explanation in Fritzner: vetrliði) is given in Þul Bjarnar 1/10 as a heiti for ‘bear’. The determinant is problematic here, because although skíð ‘plank’ does appear in ship-kennings, it is always a base-word with such determinants as ‘sea-king’ or ‘sea’ and never a determinant as in the present kenning. Because skíða can only be gen. pl. of skíð n. ‘thin board’ and vetrliði must be determined somehow, one must assume that skíð is a variation of borð ‘ship-plank’ here.
