Landstad's printed version also has the line that reads "blew his eyes out of his skull" (Roland bles sine augu or haus, Landstad's 22). Hence there is an extra fourth stanza of Roland blowing in his horn in his composite. Landstad's inserted stanza differs from Bugge's in the remaining half. For the fragmentary source, see variant 5 from Landstad's collection (NFS M. B. Landstad 1b, s. 62.)

ljóðið is the definite singular form of Norwegian ljod "sound", translatable perhaps as "The Gunulf's-lilt (?)" or "The Gunulf's-steven" to employ an archaism commonly used in ballad translations. Cf. luraljóðið "the horn-tune" in Lanstad's stanza 22. In Old Norse ljóð means "song, lay, poem" which would yield the sword-name "The Lay of Gunulf".

sloges emended by Liestøl and Moe as slogest and identified as imperfect tense of slaa.[18] The verb literally means "to beat, strike," etc., however, this verb already appears in the preceding stanza 7, and Espeland translates it as "fight" in this context. Vésteinn Ólason words it as "fighting" in his summary.
The reading "Slire=Vænde (Bænde? Baand (sheath-band?)) for the Groven ms. is suggested in one transcription.[14]
