States that Almveig's parentage is stated in the book as follows:

Hildigunnr is the mother of Halfdan's wife Almveig, and consequently the wife of Sumbl Finnakonungr, that is, Ivalde. Hildigunn's father is called Scekonungr in Hyndluljod, a synonym of Nokkver ("the ship-captain," the moon-god), and Hildigun's mother is called Svdfa, the same name as that by which Nanna is introduced in the poem concerning Helge Hjorvardson. Hildeburh, Hnaef-Hoce's daughter, is identical with Hildigun, daughter of Scekonungr.
