Both styles made considerable use of poetic similes called kennings, for example calling a ship a sea stallion.

风格都大量运用了被称为“隐喻” （kennings）的诗歌比喻，例如将称为“海之骏马” 。

There are also many interesting " kennings" or allusive compound words, such as hronrad (literally, whale-road, meaning the sea), banhus (bone-house, meaning body) and beadoleoma (battle-light, meaning sword).

例如 hronrad（字面是鲸鱼路， 是大海）、banhus（骨头屋， 是身体）和 beadoleoma（战灯， 是剑）。
