Note to Þul Ásynja 3III

[4] Þrungva: The mss have ‘þrungra’ () and ‘þungra’ (A, B and C). The latter form may have been confused with the Old Norse adj. þungr ‘heavy, weighty’. Although Þungra occurs twice in skaldic poetry of the C12th and C14th, and in both instances in kennings for ‘woman’ (in Anon Pl 50/3VII and EGils Guðkv 35/3IV, which contain other heiti known only from the þulur), Finnur Jónsson believes that it is a corrupt form of Þrungva (Skj B; LP: þungra; see also SnE 1998, II, 526). Kock retains the reading Þungra in Skald (see also NN §1256).
