[11] þangs hlíðar ‘of the sea-weed of the hill-slope [FOREST]’: The kenning can be interpreted as ‘grass’ or as ‘forest’. ‘Forest’ is selected here because hlíðþang is presented as an expression for ‘forest’ in Alv 28/3; cf. also Meissner 89, 101. Finnur Jónsson (Hkr 1893-1901, IV) favours ‘grass’.
