‘Earth, landscape, furrow, one grown with ash trees and Hlóðyn, one populated with men, Sif, Fjǫrgyn, ground, surface and rim, field, meadow and Fife, country, loam and coast, land, flat land, slope, territory and marsh. ’
Because the heiti láð was omitted in R, l. 8 is unmetrical in that ms. Ms. A is therefore the main ms. for the present stanza, and the order of the mss has been changed accordingly.
Text is based on reconstruction from the base text and variant apparatus and may contain alternative spellings and other normalisations not visible in the manuscript text. Transcriptions may not have been checked and should not be cited.
