[All]: Although the stanza is cited as an example of rekit (normally used of an extended kenning; see SnE 1998, I, 74, SnE 2007, 5, 134 as well as Context to RvHbreiðm Hl 33), the explanations (see Context, above) rather suggest ofljóst, a form of word-play in which a homonym of the intended solution is substituted by a synonym or circumlocutory phrase (SnE 1998, I, 109; SnE 2007, 12-13). The interpretation of this stanza largely follows that of Bibire (1988), which entails a minimum of emendation and best accords with the Context and the assumed riddling nature of the stanza. The situation described appears to be one in which the poet is sitting by the sick-bed of a woman, possibly his wife.
