Note to Þjóð Haustl 1III

[7-8] á hreingǫru hlýri fats Hildar ‘on the brightly-made surface of the clothing of Hildr <valkyrie> [ARMOUR > SHIELD-FACE]’: Þjóðólfr seems to have created this unusual tvíkent kenning to draw his audience’s attention to the brightly decorated shield-face upon which the scenes he was to describe were painted or carved.
