Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 11III

[2]: The line lacks a final disyllabic word carrying internal rhyme. In papp25ˣ Rugman (?) added the nonsensical ‘havelnarr’ above hauksnarr ‘hawk-keen’, which apparently constitutes an alternative reading of the original ms.’s ‘haucsnarr’. That reading was later entered at the end of the line in R683ˣ in another hand. Skj B completes the line with the conjectural móðbarr ‘courage-ready’, whereas Kock (NN §2070) supplies velvarr ‘very cautious’ from ‘hávelnarr’.
