Cited as an example of schesis onomaton (‘scesisonomaton’), which Óláfr explains as follows (TGT 1927, 70): Scesisonomaton gerir margar klausur með jǫfnum fǫllum samanhlaðnar ‘Schesis onomaton piles up many clauses with the same cases’.
Björn Magnússon Ólsen (TGT 1884, 97 n.) suggests that what is meant here by schesis onomaton is the repetition of the same cases in the first three lines, each of which starts with a nom. and ends with an acc. noun. — This fragment is fornyrðislag but is similar in its repetitive style to the málaháttr fragments sts 18 and 19, and Ólhv Frag 6.
