[10] gránserk ‘the grey shirt’: The present ed. here follows Rafn (1826), Pfeiffer (1860), Wisén (1886-9), Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) and Kock (Skald) in treating gránserk m. acc. sg. as a cpd word rather than, as in other previous eds (including those of Finnur Jónsson 1893b and 1905), two words of which the first, grán, is a contracted form of gráan, m. acc. sg. of grár ‘grey’. The preferability of the reading adopted here is indicated by Kock (NN §2309A) and is supported by the presence of the cpd gránserkr in Skúli Lv 1/4III (see Note there).
