Gizurr rides to within earshot of the Huns and declaims the stanza in a loud voice.
[3]: Gnæfa must be intransitive here and yðr in the dat. The gunnfani ‘battle-standard’ referred to is presumably that of the Goths, raised in victory over the Huns. Cf. Hárb 40/3 (NK 84) gnæfa gunnfana ‘to raise high battle-standards’. — [4]: The following stanza, Heiðr 113/7-8, also refers to the god Óðinn’s role as decider of battles (see Note). Cf. also Innstein Innvk 31/1-2 (Hálf 18) Þér er orðinn | Óðinn til gramr ‘Óðinn has become too angry with you’, and Note to that stanza.
