[1] ák … til ‘I have’: Following Skj B, this is taken as a verb-adv. collocation (eiga til ‘have’). Kock (NN §1098; Skald) construes it with brúðar (til brúðar ‘to the woman’), which is less likely (see the following Note).

The origin of this type of kenning is obscure. Kock (NN §1098; Skald) argues that, rather than til lit. ‘to’ (l. 1) being an adv., it is more natural to take it as a prep. with the object brúðar ‘wife, woman’ (at senda til brúðar ‘to send to the woman’). While that is certainly correct (we would not expect the adv. til in an unstressed position and a syntactic break before position 5), it forces Kock to construe the kenning as sollinn vind bergjarls ‘swollen wind of the mountain-jarl [GIANT > THOUGHT]’, in which the determinant is ‘giant’ rather than ‘giantess’. There is very little evidence, if any, for such a kenning (see Meissner 138-9), and the present edn therefore follows SnE 1848-87, Skj B and SnE 1998, II, 243, 263.
