Anon Hsv 1VII/6 — sínum ‘his’

Heyri seggir,        þeir er vilja at sið lifa
        ok góð verk gera,
horsklig ráð,        þau er heiðinn maðr
        kendi sínum syni.

Seggir, þeir er vilja lifa at sið ok gera góð verk, heyri horsklig ráð, þau er heiðinn maðr kendi syni sínum.

Men who want to live with good conduct and do good works should listen to the wise advice that a heathen man taught his son.

readings

[6] sínum syni: so 624, syni sínum 1199ˣ

notes

[6] syni sínum ‘his son’: The 624 reading of l. 6 is more correct in ljóðaháttr, since long-stemmed disyllabic words are generally avoided in the final two positions.
