Note to Gestumbl Heiðr 4VIII (Heiðr 51)

[All]: Heiðrekr’s response reads (Heiðr 1960, 34): þat er hamarr sá, er hafðr er at gullsmið; hann kveðr hátt við, er hann kømr á harðan steðja, ok þat er hans gata ‘that is that hammer, which is used in goldsmithing; he shrieks loudly when he comes down onto the hard anvil, and that is his path’.
