notes and context

Here and in some other stanzas of this þula (cf. sts 6/1-4, 7 and 9), the nautical terms are deliberately collected and put together according to their initial sound. — Ms. R is partially illegible and A is the main ms. for this stanza, which is reflected in the order of the mss. — [8]: The capital letter ‘S’ (‘Sess’) in C indicates that this is the first line of the next stanza in that ms.
