[3] frák ‘I heard’: Ms. ‘sauck’ (normalised sǫkk) is difficult to accommodate in the helmingr (the suggestion in Fms 12 is unconvincing). This edn emends to frák and construes this with the past inf. kvômu ‘come, to have come’, itself an emendation (see Note to l. 4). Hykk ‘I believe’ is adopted by previous eds, following Finnur Jónsson (1886b, 325; Skj B), but is slightly more distant from the ms. reading.
