Now you may enter,in your battle-armor,/ wearing war-masks, to see Hrothgar; let shields stay here,tightened war-wood,/your battle-shafts wait the result of words
To what does the kenning battle-shafts refer?
Answer:
swords
Explanation:
Kenning is a figure of speech often used by Anglo-Saxons and can be noticed several times in Beowulf. In short, this figure represents the conjunction of two words creating a kind of "puzzle." This is because the combination of the two words creates a new meaning that represents something easily known. These words are usually related by a hyphen that connects them. In the above excerpt, kenning can be seen in the word "battle-shafts" which can be represented as an elongated object and used in battles, like a sword.
