[All]: For other sts with similar content recited on the same occasion, see Rv Lv 16 and Árm Lv 3. The st. could be construed as a response to Árm Lv 3: the latter expresses a desire to sleep with Ermingerðr, while Oddi’s response, the final st. in the sequence of three, is that none of them is worthy of her.
