The place names outside Norway in this stanza are three of the Shetland Islands, i.e. Noss, a small island near Bressay (Nǫs l. 1; see Munch 1846, 90 and Jakobsen 1901, 137), Fetlar (Fetilǫr l. 3) and Yell (Jala l. 8). Some of the islands listed below have not been identified: Nauma (l. 1), Nála (l. 2) and Frigg (l. 3) (see Munch 1846, 90).
