Joseph Waldmeir's essay ""Confiteor Hominem": Ernest Hemingway's Religion of Man" is a favorable critical reading of the novel—and one which has defined analytical considerations since.

Names of "sækonungar" "sea-kings" (legendary pirate leaders) constitute another large category. From these were formed kennings for "sea" and "ship", e.g. "Rakna bifgrund" "Rakni's shaking ground" = "the sea"; "Þvinnils dýr" "Thvinnil's beast" = "ship".

Some who ascribe to him a specific domain call him the god of "elusive sea change", which suggests the constantly changing nature of the sea or the liquid quality of water in general. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar to several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing
