[All]: Heiðrekr’s response is (Heiðr 1960, 42): þat er akkeri með góðum streng; ef fleinn hans er í grunni, þá bergr þat ‘that is an anchor with a good rope; if his fluke is in the bed [of the sea etc.], then it is safe’. The H redaction has a longer explanation and adds (Heiðr 1924, 62): En mjǫk undrumz ek orðfimi þína ok vitrleik ‘But I wonder greatly at your word-skill and wisdom’.
