Note to StarkSt Vík 27VIII (Gautr 35)

[All]: This stanza has only six lines in both mss but no gaps to indicate lacunae, and has other irregularities as well. Both syntax and sense suggest that the first line might originally have been part of a main clause, the rest of which is missing, while l. 3 changes to kviðuháttr, leading Gautr 1900 and FSGJ to adjust ll. 2-3 to at Þórr um skóp | mér níðings nafn.
