[All]: Kock (NN §1371) argues that láðs ‘of the land’ (l. 1) should be construed with hyrdraugar fornbauga ‘fire-trees of ancient rings’ (l. 2), yielding the sense ‘trees of the fire of the land of ancient rings [(lit. ‘fire-trees of the land of ancient-rings’) ARM > GOLD > MEN]’. As a consequence, heslis ‘of the hazel-tree’ (l. 4) must be construed with sœki-Njǫrðu sverða ‘attack-Njǫrðs of swords’ (l. 3), but this does not make for a very satisfactory kenning: sœki-Njǫrðu heslis sverða ‘attack-Nirðir of the hazel-tree of swords [WARRIOR > WARRIORS]’.
