[2] skips Ullar ‘Ullr’s <god’s> ship [SHIELD]’: The reason for this frequently-used kenning-type is not recorded. LP’s explanation that Ullr had a ship named Skjǫldr ‘shield’ may be correct, but it is not confirmed by SnE, as the LP reference to it might imply. See further Note to Gamlkan Has 64/2VII.
