[1] við lund ‘with purpose’: The phrase may or may not belong with the remainder of the couplet. (a) Here it is tentatively assumed to belong, and is taken as lund f. ‘mind’, with a similar meaning to that expressed by the phrase lund etju ‘desire for conflict’ in Eskál Vell 6/8I. (b) Kock, also assuming the couplet to be a syntactic unit, suggests emendation to lind, hence ‘with a shield’ (NN §856), but emendation is not appropriate in the absence of the rest of the helmingr. (c) If við lund does not belong with the rest of the couplet it could, for instance, contain lundr m. ‘grove, tree’, which is especially common as the base-word in man-kennings (LP).
