[All]: Following Heiðrekr’s challenge in the H redaction (see Context), there is a move away from the Hvat er þat undra formula of the previous nine riddles. This effect is lost in the other redactions, which do not group all the undra riddles together, nor do they have the prose challenge. In this stanza, ll. 1-4 and 9-10 are fornyrðislag and 5-8 are málaháttr.
