[2] til minna ‘for the lesser [choice]’: Minna here is taken as the irregular comp. grade of adj. lítill ‘small’, in the n. gen. sg. Finnur Jónsson takes it in Skj B as gen. sg. of the n. noun minni ‘memory’ and construes it with l. 4, hence ‘the disgraceful disloyalty will be remembered for a long time’, but skipt til minna ‘exchanged for the lesser choice’ is a natural construction (cf. líkamar órir skiptast til meiri dýrðar ‘our bodies are changed into greater worship/honour’ from Elucidarius, Fritzner: skipta 1). The fact that the Mork and Flat scribes knew only ll. 3-4, or took them as a quotable unit, is against Finnur’s interpretation, and Kock argues against it in NN §857 (refined in §3084).
