Note to Gamlkan Has 10VII

[4] konungr sóltjalds ‘king of the sun-tent [SKY/HEAVEN > = God]’: Cf. 14/6-8 and the God-kenning stillir sóltjalda ‘regulator of the sun-tents’ in Arn Rǫgndr 3/1-2III. The heaven-kenning may derive its inspiration from Ps. XVIII.6: in sole posuit tabernaculum suum ‘he hath set his tabernacle in the sun’.
