According to the author, there is yet no satisfactory explanation for the third stanza of Sonatorrek. Due to metric reasons, Wolff-Marburg rejects Finnur Jónsson’s and Sigurður Nordal’s approach, who relate the first half of the third stanza to the second stanza. Instead, he claims, the third stanza introduces the poem’s main theme – the loss of the son. In addition, Wolff-Marburg offers an alternative reading of the second and third line of the third stanza. In contrast to ''es lifnaði á nǫktveri'', he suggests the reading ''es lifa náði á nǫktveri'' (“he, who could live […] has the naked sea”), justified by the translation of ''lifna'' as “to stay alive.” He concludes that according to the poem Egill hopes for his son to be taken to Valhǫll, rather than to be received in Rán’s realm, as the drowned are traditionally thought to be. | |||

Annotation
According to the author, there is yet no satisfactory explanation for the third stanza of Sonatorrek. Due to metric reasons, Wolff-Marburg rejects Finnur Jónsson’s and Sigurður Nordal’s approach, who relate the first half of the third stanza to the second stanza. Instead, he claims, the third stanza introduces the poem’s main theme – the loss of the son. In addition, Wolff-Marburg offers an alternative reading of the second and third line of the third stanza. In contrast to es lifnaði á nǫktveri, he suggests the reading es lifa náði á nǫktveri (“he, who could live […] has the naked sea”), justified by the translation of lifna as “to stay alive.” He concludes that according to the poem Egill hopes for his son to be taken to Valhǫll, rather than to be received in Rán’s realm, as the drowned are traditionally thought to be.
Lýsing
Samkvæmt höfundinum hefur engum tekist að skýra 3. vísu Sonatorreks til fullnustu. Með vísun til bragfræðilegra raka hafnar Wolff-Marburg skýringum Finns Jónssonar og Sigurðar Nordals sem tengja fyrri helming 3. vísu við 2. vísu. Hann heldur því þess í stað fram að í 3. vísu sé meginþema kvæðisins kynnt til sögunnar – sonarmissirinn. Wolff-Marburg leggur einnig til nýjan leshátt í 2. og 3. línu vísunnar. Í stað þess að lesa „es lifnaði á nǫktveri“, leggur hann til að lesa eigi „es lifa náði á nǫktveri“. Að endingu telur hann að kvæðið sýni að Egill vænist þess að sonur hans fái inngöngu í Valhöll, fremur en sali Ránar eins og venjan var um drukknaða menn.
