[1] kalla mik skald ‘they call me poet’: The verbal and conceptual structure of Bragi’s stanza mirrors the troll-woman’s. As with l. 1 of her stanza, the interpretation of Bragi’s l. 1 could be kalla mik skald ‘they call me poet’, as here, with the following list of kennings as complement of the object, or skǫld kalla mik ‘poets call me …’. The latter sense requires emendation of all mss’ skald to skǫld, as in Skj B.
