Note to Anon Mhkv 11III

[2] lag ‘verse-form’: Technical term used five times in the last half of SnSt Ht (SnE 2007, 30, 33, 38-9). Stuttligt lag ‘an abrupt verse-form’ in this stanza could refer to the abrupt syntax (most lines contain one clause) or to the fact that each line contains seven rather than eight metrical positions (as in hrynhent).
