[2] Guðr seima ‘Guðr <valkyrie> of gold [WOMAN]’: Guðr/Gunnr is fairly common in woman-kennings (Meissner 406), but in the use of this valkyrie-name, the two thematic elements of the stanza and the poem as a whole, battle and women, are appropriately conjoined. Seima (gen. pl.) is perhaps strictly ‘of gold threads’ (cf. LP: seimr).
