[3-4]: The mss have different readings here, and neither version is completely satisfactory. Kock (Skald; FF §19), possibly following Heiðr 1672 (which however does not offer a translation), emends R715ˣ’s problematic reading to ad leiki sara | en ad lundar geingu ‘to the play of wounds [BATTLE], than to the journey to the grove’. NK also follows R715ˣ, emending to at leic ísarna | enn at lundar gǫngo ‘to the play of irons [BATTLE], than to the journey to the grove’. Either conjectured battle-kenning would be the only kenning in the group of stanzas about the Huns and Goths, though that fact does not make it an impossible occurrence here, especially given the relative infrequency of kennings in non-skaldic metres.
