[3]: The emendation to pres. læz ‘declares himself (to be about to die)’ from ms. ‘lez’ (pret.) seems necessary here to provide consistency with pres. flýgr ‘flies’ in l.1, and with the pres. inf. munu ‘be about to …’, which in this line is preferable metrically to the past inf. (mundu) as an emended form of ms. ‘-mvn’. The emendations to this line in the present edn follow those adopted by the eds of CPB (who, however, are exceptional in omitting af ‘of (hunger)’ from l. 3), and by all other eds apart from Rafn (FSN), who emends problematically to lèzt heill mun af hùngri.
