[7-9] þjónar ok þrælar, þírr, ǫnnungar, verkmenn, kefsar ‘servants and slaves, serf, labourers, workmen, captives’: Cf. the almost identical list in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 106): Heitir ok þræll kefsir, þjónn, ǫnnungr, þírr ‘A slave is also called captive, servant, labourer, serf’. The heiti verkmaðr ‘workman’ (l. 9) is the only term in this stanza which is not listed in the corresponding section of Skm.
