[8] á stétt bragar ‘on the path of poetry [TONGUE]’: Finnur Jónsson emends á ‘on’ to af ‘from’, but the notion is surely that the motion of the poem is on or along this pathway (NN §1806B). Kennings of this type referring to the seat or path of poetry are ambiguous, and could denote either ‘tongue’ or ‘mouth’, as assumed here, or ‘breast’ (see Meissner 135). This usage of stétt ‘path’ appears learned in character and otherwise occurs only in late, Christian skaldic poetry (cf. Ólafur Halldórsson 1969b, 157).
