[3] nýla ‘recently’: This is the only instance of this adv. in LP, alongside a later instance of the synonymous nýliga (LP: nýla, nýliga). It is taken here with the first clause (as also by Finnur Jónsson in Skj B and Faulkes in SnE 1998, I, 80), where it contrasts with næst, here taken in the temporal sense ‘next’. Nýla could alternatively be taken with the second clause, hence en nýla telk næst eigi in smæstu él nadda ‘and recently I will next recount not the smallest storms of barbs [BATTLES]’, but though this produces a more straightforward word order, nýla does not make sense in this context.
