Note to Anon Mdr 6VII

[3] : B is defective at this point. Rydberg (1907, 33 n. 2) notes that the text is badly damaged, and interprets the remains as traces of an initial h and a nasal stroke. He suggests reconstruction to himna ‘of the heavens’. This reconstruction was adopted by Finnur Jónsson (Skj B), giving the heaven-kenning hirð himna ‘court of the heavens’, which produces a very acceptable angel-kenning öll hjǫrð hirðar himna ‘the entire flock of the court of the heavens’. Kock adopts this reconstruction without comment.
