IX. 2. Lausavísa (Lv) - 0
Very little is known about Oddr kíkinaskáld (Okík). Skáldatal lists him among the poets of Magnús Óláfsson and Haraldr Sigurðarson (SnE 1848-87, III, 254, 262, 274-5), and he appears to have been in Norway at the time of Magnús’s death (in 1047). The meaning of his nickname is debated (composing about a person with the name or nickname Kíkini or Kikini: so SnE 1848-87, III, 576, Finnur Jónsson 1907, 246; composing about people from a Norw. farmstead Kíkin: so ÍF 28, 63 n. 1). The quantity of the first <i> in the nickname cannot be established.

mǫrg tôr, í grǫf bôru
(þung byrðr vas sú) þengil
(þeim, es hann gaf seima).
Deildisk hugr, svát heldu
húskarlar grams varla
— siklings þjóð en síðan
sat opt hnipin — vatni. | Menn felldu mǫrg tôr, þás bôru mildan þengil í grǫf; sú vas þung byrðr þeim, es hann gaf seima. Hugr deildisk, svát húskarlar grams heldu varla vatni, en opt síðan sat þjóð siklings hnipin. Men shed many tears when they carried the generous lord to his grave; that was a heavy burden for those to whom he gave gold. The mind was in turmoil, so that the ruler’s housecarls could hardly refrain from weeping, and often thereafter the prince’s people sat drooping.
