Þar vas sigtýr sjalfr í sœkialfi dýra Atals; goð stýrðu þeim Beima þrafna byrjar.
There the victory-god [= Óðinn] himself was in the attacking elf of the animals of Atall <sea-king> [SHIPS > SEA-WARRIOR = Haraldr]; the gods guided that Beimi <sea-king> of the stave of the fair wind [SHIP > SEA-WARRIOR = Haraldr].
[2] Beima: beina U
[2] Beima ‘Beimi <sea-king>’: The name Beimi is otherwise only attested in Þul Sea-kings 1/4III (see Note) and Þul Sækonunga 4/6III. The use of the name of a legendary hero or king, rather than a god’s name, as the base-word of a man-kenning is also rare (Meissner 263).
