Note to Gestumbl Heiðr 9VIII (Heiðr 56)

[All]: In the R redaction this stanza follows Gestumbl Heiðr 4 (Heiðr 51). Although this arrangement does not achieve the grouping of riddles with the same opening formula found in the H redaction and preferred in the present edn, it is a logical placing since both solutions refer to objects used in smith-craft.
