Note to ÞSkegg Hardr 1II

[1] enn gørr ‘even more’: Lit. ‘still more completely’. The adv. enn is taken as an intensifier to the comp. adv. gørr ‘more’. Skj B treats en(n) as the conjunction ‘but’ and gørr (gǫrr) as an adj. (m. nom. sg.) qualifying jǫfurr (l. 2) (gǫrr jǫfurr translated as den raske konge ‘the brave king’). That interpretation entails the prepositioning of the finite verb náði ‘gained’ in the bound cl. beginning with en, which is not possible (see Kuhn, 1983, 203; NN §879).
