context: The stanza is given as an example of nýgjǫrvingar, that is, extended metaphors (see SnE 2007, 49, 136).
notes: The headings read as follows: ‘nygiøʀningaʀ uj.’ ‘extended metaphors, six’ (Tˣ) and nygervingar (U(47r)) (no longer legible in R). — The extended metaphors are contained in the snake-imagery here, by which a sword is likened to a serpent sliding out of the scabbard seeking water (blood). In Skm, the term nýgjǫrvingar ‘new creations’ is used in a slightly different sense (see SnE 2007, 49 and Marold 1993b). All of the terms for ‘reptile’ that are used as base-words in the sword-kennings in this stanza also occur as base-words of sword-kennings in RvHbreiðm Hl 32.
