Note to stanza1. 19. Tindr Hallkelsson, Hákonardrápa, 1 [Vol. 1, 338] [6] Viðurr brynju ‘the Viðurr <= Óðinn> of the mail-shirt [WARRIOR = Hákon]’: (a) This solution is adopted by Sveinbjörn Egilsson (Fms 12; SHI 11; LP (1860): Viðurr), followed by Finnur Jónsson (1886b, 321; Skj B; LP: Viðurr) and Kock (Skald), on the basis of the Kˣ reading and further partial support from U and 510. (b) Bjarni Aðalbjarnarson (ÍF 26) prefers the majority reading viðum brynju ‘for/to the trees of the mail-shirt [WARRIORS]’, construed as a dat. of persons affected modifying hruðusk ‘were cleared’, thus ‘were cleared of men’ (cf. SnE 1998, I, 68). But parallels to such an idiom are not attested, as Bjarni himself notes, and it is reasonable to suppose that a heiti for a god has been garbled here, as frequently in the ms. tradition. referencesSkj B = Finnur Jónsson ed.… ∙ is referred to in ∙ Tindr Hákdr 1, n. 6 (SkP 1) Fms = Sveinbjörn Egilsson eds. 18… ∙ is referred to in ∙ Tindr Hákdr 1, n. 6 (SkP 1) Skald = Kock, Ernst Albin ed. 194… ∙ is referred to in ∙ Tindr Hákdr 1, n. 6 (SkP 1) LP = Finnur Jónsson ed. 1931.
