Helgi appears to have stayed with Hunding under the name of Hamal, but now, thinking himself safe, he sends word of who he really is.
<expl>Hunding</expl>: it has been suggested that the compiler may have inserted this name to fit what he thought the story ought to be, in place of Hæming, or even Hadding.
If stanzas <stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">1</stanzaref>–<stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">4</stanzaref> are a fragment of the <source>Karuljoth</source> (<source>Lay of Kara</source>), this latter suggestion is quite reasonable, for in that poem, which we do not possess, but which supplied material for the compilers of the <source>Hromundar saga Greipssonar</source>, Helgi appears as Helgi Haddingjaskati (cf. <proseref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II" prose="conclusion">final prose note</proseref>).

Nothing beyond this one name connects stanzas <stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">1</stanzaref>–<stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">4</stanzaref> with Hunding.

There is nothing in stanzas <stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">5</stanzaref>–<stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">12</stanzaref> which clearly identifies Sigrun as a Valkyrie, or which, except for the last line of stanza <stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">12</stanzaref>, identifies the speaker as Sigrun.
Some editors, therefore, call her simply “the Valkyrie,” while Vigfusson, who thinks this section is also a remnant of the <source>Karuljoth</source>, calls her Kara.

Some editors reject line 3, others line 5.
The manuscript omits Helgi's name in line 5, thereby destroying both the sense and the meter.
Vigfusson, following his <source>Karuljoth</source> theory (cf. note on <proseref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II" prose="p5">prose following stanza 4</proseref>), changes Hogni to Halfdan, father of Kara.

<comment>
Here begins a new section of the poem, dealing with Helgi's death at the hands of <expl>Dag</expl>, Sigrun's brother.
The note is based wholly on stanzas <stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">28</stanzaref>–<stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">34</stanzaref>, except for the introduction of Dag's name (cf. note on <proseref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II" prose="p17">prose following stanza 16</proseref>), and the reference to <expl>Othin's spear</expl>, the weapon which made victory certain, and which the annotator brought in doubtless on the strength of Dag's statement that Othin was responsible for Helgi's death (stanza <stanzaref chapter="Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II">33</stanzaref>).
