Þann ‘That’
kennings
Þann inn næsta deyði naðra‘That next slayer of snakes ’
= WINTER
That next slayer of snakes → WINTER
notes
[1] vas ‘was’: The ms. reading þann vetr inn næsta ‘that next winter’ is ungrammatical (the verb is omitted), and, furthermore, vetr ‘winter’ duplicates the kenning deyði naðra ‘slayer of snakes’, i.e. ‘winter’ (l. 2). The scribe must have failed to understand the kenning and added vetr from the prose. Kock (NN §3109) suggests the emendation vann inn næsta ‘fought the next [winter]’ which is at odds with the prose text.
