 Sinfjötli accuses Guðmundr of having once been female, and gibes that Guðmundr was "a witch, horrible, unnatural, among Odin's valkyries", adding that all of the einherjar "had to fight, headstrong woman, on your account".Further in the poem, the phrase "the valkyrie's airy sea" is used for "mist".Towards the end of the poem, valkyries again descend from the sky, this time to protect Helgi amid the battle at Frekastein.
