Note to ÞjóðA Magnfl 17II

[8] landreki ‘land-ruler’: This could be regarded as a borderline kenning. Meissner (p. 353) points out that it is perceived as a kenning, but comes to be used as the base-word of a kenning, an example being ESk Hardr II 1/6, 8, where it is qualified by Dana ‘of Danes’. It also occurs among heiti for ‘king’ in Þul Konunga 2/6III, and Þjóðólfr uses the word in Sex 9, 15 and 27.
