Note to Anon Líkn 12VII

[1] frá mey mæztri ‘from a most precious maiden’: The dat. of mær is usually meyju (acc. mey), truncated here for metrical reasons. The non-superlative form of the adj. is used of Mary in Lil 24/5-6 meyju mætri and the late medieval Gimsteinn 12/1 (also of Nativity) af meyju mætri (ÍM I.2, 307).
