Note to Anon (OStór) 1VIII (OStór 1)

[All]: This stanza may echo Heiðr Lv 2/1-4 (Ǫrv 2): Ferr þú eigi svá | fjörðu breiða | né líðr yfir | langa vága … ‘You will never travel thus over broad firths or sail across long bays …’.  The import of the stanza is that, however far Ormr travels, he will not avoid his destiny back in Norway.
