notes and context
This stanza is the fifth and last of a roll-call of Hjálmarr’s former drinking mates.
[7, 8]: The names Óttarr, Egill and Yngvarr are associated with traditions of the Swedish and Norwegian Yngling dynasty (cf. Þjóð Yt 14I, 15I and 18I), which are also echoed in the Old English poem Beowulf.
