Final answer:
The provided excerpts do not contain the specific lines from "The Wanderer" necessary to identify the kenning used for the wanderer's dead lord, so an accurate answer cannot be given.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the identification of a kenning used to describe the wanderer's dead lord in a specific piece of text. However, the provided excerpts do not seem to contain the lines 26-31 from "The Wanderer" or a related text where a kenning for the lord would be found. In Old English poetry, a kenning is a metaphorical compound word or phrase substituted for a noun. Examples of kennings include 'whale-road' for the sea or 'battle-sweat' for blood. Since the specific kenning is not given in the provided excerpts, it is not possible to provide an accurate answer to the student's question.
