Note to Forað Lv 2VIII (Ket 18)

[All]: In 343a, 471 and 340ˣ this stanza consists of a first half-stanza in ljóðaháttr followed by a single long-line; in other mss the full-line of the first half-stanza is expanded into a long-line. The second half-stanza is expanded as well, the result being either one long-line whose two parts are unusually long or two long-lines, the second of which contains no words that alliterate. Edd. Min. 80 n. records the text of these variants.
