Hlēoðor means something that is heard, such as a sound, voice, song, speech or noise. Swēg can be either a more confused sound, like a din or crash, or a more regulated sound, like a bird’s song. So not a kenning, just a compound of sound words. LikeLike
Is this a kenning or is this the literal meaning?
