And the desiring-Rán <goddess> of the excessive drying of veins [VALKYRIE = Hildr] planned to bring the storm of bows [BATTLE] with hostile intentions against her father after that, when the shaking-Sif <goddess> of rings [VALKYRIE = Hildr], the one filled with malice, carried a neck-ring for the tree-trunk of battle [WARRIOR = Hǫgni] to the steeds of the fair wind [SHIPS].
[8] draugi ørlygis ‘the tree-trunk of battle [WARRIOR = Hǫgni]’: Bragi possibly plays ironically on the dual sense of draugr here, ‘tree-trunk’ and ‘ghost, revenant’, in that Hǫgni will soon have the latter status, along with all the other men in the Hildr legend.
