[5, 8] allr herr ráðalfs ‘all the army of the control-elf [RULER = Hǫgni (?)]’: All mss’ ráðalfr (nom.) (l. 8) has been emended to ráðalfs (gen.) and construed with ‘all the army’ (l. 5) to give a ruler-kenning whose referent is probably Hǫgni, the likely referent of the warrior-kenning in the first helmingr. Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) emends to raðaralfs, deriving the first element of the cpd from rǫð ‘ship’, a noun only attested in Þul Skipa 2/7. Kock (cf. NN §217) also emends <r> to <s>, but understands the cpd noun as raðalfr ‘ship-elf’, ‘seafarer’, also deriving the first element from rǫð ‘ship’, but this is not possible because such a cpd would resolve in initial position and create a hypometrical line.
