May the Fríðr <goddess> of the fire of the fjord [GOLD > WOMAN] enjoy my praise; I honoured the land of the hall of Fundinn <dwarf> [STONE > WOMAN]; I set my steadfast gust of the troll-woman [MIND] on the fence of the surf [WAVE].
[2] salar Fundins ‘of the hall of Fundinn <dwarf> [STONE]’: This kenning type is based on the belief that dwarfs live in rocks and mountains (Reichborn-Kjennerud 1934a, 280); only three attestations of the type occur (Meissner 89). The apparent clustering of dwarf-heiti here and in st. 5/4 above is appropriate to the theme of Snæfríðardrápa, since Snæfríðr’s father Svási was himself a dwarf according to Flat. Cf. also the dwarf-names in Hhárf Snædr 1/5, 7I.
