In the author’s point of view, 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 to relate the first helming of the third stanza to the second stanza. Instead, he claims, the third stanza starts off the poem’s main theme – the loss of the son. In addition to his rejection, Wolff-Marburg offers an alternative reading to the second and third line of the third stanza. In contrast to read ''es lifnaði á nǫktveri'', he offers ''es lifa náði á nǫktveri'' (“he, who could live […] has the naked sea”), justified by the translation of ''lifna'' as “to stay alive.” The final conclusion, as the author states it, may be that in alteration or evolution of the perception of Valhǫll, Egill hopes for his son to be taken to Valhǫll, rather than to be received in Rán’s realm as the drowned are 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.
