 Gledes, as Grani sang:


 * I think the Gledes diminished . ..
 * Glammi's tracks; thus the king kindled.

Embers, as Atli sang:


 * With blood the axe is reddened,
 * Embers wax, burn many houses,
 * Halls stand aglow; now rages
 * The Gem; good men are falling.

Here fire is called Gem also.

Vapor, as here:


 * Half-built, by the Nid's side
 * Burn the All-Ruler's dwellings;
 * I think fire razed the hall's pride:
 * Vapor shot rime on the people.

Hot Ashes, as Arnórr sang:


 * The Isle-Danes' wrathful Harmer
 * With the Raumar spared not hard counsel:
 * Hot Ashes made them calmer;
 * The Heinir's threatening words hushed.

Flames, as Einarr sang:


 * Flame soon was alight,
 * And swiftly took flight
 * All Hísing's host:
 * The fight they lost.
