[All]: In this stanza Hjálmþér still does not seem to understand what has happened and appears to think he could gain vengeance upon King Hringr for Hǫrðr’s death if he had his sword, Snarvendill. It is possible that here, as occasionally elsewhere, the composer of the prose has confused the original narrative reflected more accurately in the poetry. The reference to Ǫlvir’s causing the sword to disappear is unexplained in the prose text.
