List of kennings
text:
A kenning is a circumlocution, an ambiguous or roundabout figure of speech, used instead of an ordinary noun in Old Norse, Old English, and later Icelandic poetry. This list is not intended to be comprehensive. Kennings for a particular character are listed in that character's article.

For a scholarly list of kennings see Meissner's Die Kenningar der Skalden (
