Cited as an example of epizeuxis (‘epizeusis’), i.e. the repetition of a word (TGT 1927, 69): Epizeusis er tvefaldan eins orðs samansettEpizeuxis is the repetition of one word put together [with the repeated word]’.

Epizeuxis occurs here in the repetition of hlýð ‘listen’. Óláfr adds (TGT 1927, 69): Þessi fígúra er jafnan sett þá er maðr talar með ákefð nǫkkura hluti ‘This figure is always seen when a person talks vehemently about something’. — This stanza is in fornyrðislag (Type D, l. 1; Type A, l. 2) but is grouped by Finnur Jónsson (Skj) with four kviðuháttr fragments, sts 33, 34, 13 and 20 in this edn (Vers om ubestemmelige personer og begivenheder ‘Stanzas about unidentified persons and events’ 1-5 in Skj). Without the repetition of hlýð, this fragment would be in kviðuháttr.
