Note to Bjbp Jóms 17I

[4] kœmi (3rd pers. pl. pret. subj.) ‘brought’: This produces skothending in the even line, which is normal within the munnvǫrp metre of Jóms. The indic. form kómu in R is also possible. It produces aðalhending, which is rare in the even lines of Jóms, but not unparalleled (see Introduction).
