[3] hyrgœði hríðar ‘the increaser of the fire of battle [(lit. ‘fire-increaser of battle’) SWORD > WARRIOR]’: Sveinbjörn Egilsson (SnE 1848, 188) and most subsequent eds emend hyr- to hjǫr- ‘sword-’ to create a battle-kenning; however, hríð can refer to battle by itself (cf. Þul Orrostu 2/7), and can therefore function as a determinant in a sword-kenning, as Kock intimates (NN §994). However, it is possible that, by citing the kenning as cacosyntheton, Óláfr himself considered the kenning as a whole incorrect, rather than the inverted arrangement of its elements.
