[8] hríð ‘the storm’: This emendation of ms. ǫld is indicated by both metre and sense, and is generally accepted. Kock (NN §434) suggests taking hríð as the ókend heiti for ‘battle’, combining Mistar morðskýja ‘of the Mist <valkyrie> of killing-clouds’ in ll. 5, 6 to give sköldrustad valkyria ‘shield-equipped valkyrie’, and taking this as a determinant for mávi ‘seagull’, but this analysis is counter to skaldic usage, despite the further putative examples given in NN §2987H.
