In R, as a result of repetition of the second heiti (‘raukni rauknir’; see the next Note), l. 1 is unmetrical. Ms. A is therefore the main ms. for the present stanza, and the order of the mss has been changed accordingly. — [2-3]: Here, as in some other lines of this þula, there is a tendency to place together rhyming names which differ only in their initial sound (see also sts 1/5, 2/3 above).
Text is based on reconstruction from the base text and variant apparatus and may contain alternative spellings and other normalisations not visible in the manuscript text. Transcriptions may not have been checked and should not be cited.
