[5] hliðr (m.): Other than in the present stanza, the heiti is mentioned in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 109) as an example of wordplay: Hlið heitir á garði ok hlið kalla menn oxa ‘There is what is called a gateway (hlið) in a fence, and people call an ox hlið’). Hliðr is also a heiti for ‘stag’ (Þul Hjartar l. 2). The meaning of this heiti is not clear (see also røkkvihliðr, st. 1/8 above).
