[9] Hamðis ‘of Hamðir <legendary hero>’: The allusion here is to the legendary hero Hamðir, son of Guðrún Gjúkadóttir (sister of Gunnarr and Hǫgni, see Notes to st. 22, ll. 2-4, and second Note to st. 29/8 below) by her third husband King Jónakr. Hamðir’s name is common as a determinant in kennings for weapons and armour, especially mail-coats (Meissner 164-5).
