Editions: Skj AI, 669, Skj BI, 666, Skald I, 330, NN §3138; SnE 1848-87, I, 574-5, II, 479, 562, 622, SnE 1931, 205, SnE 1998, I, 124.
Notes: [All]: Of the sea-heiti listed in this stanza, gnat n. ‘din’, vika f. ‘sea-mile’ (l. 1), stormr m. ‘storm’ m. (l. 5), iða f. ‘eddy’ and kíll m. ‘creek’ (l. 8) never occur in skaldic poetry as terms for ‘sea’, but gnat appears once in the rímur in a kenning for ‘poetry’ (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: gnat). — [1] gnat, vǫrr, vika ‘din, ship’s wake, sea-mile’: Kock (NN §3138; Skald) rearranges this sequence of heiti as Vǫrr, gnat, vika to achieve alliteration on the first lift.
