‘The steerer of the Hrafnar <legendary horses> of the harbour [SHIPS > SEAFARER] managed to allure to himself the broad-faced bride of Báleygr <= Óðinn> [= Jǫrð (jǫrð ‘earth’)] with sovereign speeches of swords [BATTLE]. ’
Cited in Skm straight after st. 7, this half-stanza also exemplifies kennings for jǫrð ‘earth’, in this case brúðr Báleygs ‘bride of Báleygr’.
