Note to ǪrvOdd Lv 27VIII (Ǫrv 62)

[All]: As in the preceding stanza, the version of 7 adds four lines to this 8-line stanza, this time between ll. 4 and 5. Versions of these lines in the other mss form the second helmingr of Ǫrv 69, where all variant readings are given and discussed. The text in 7 is as follows: ‘illt er at einka vin skoluð eigi ęrr skratta blota’. This can be emended to make sense as the following lines: [[ALT]] The noun Óðinn has been omitted and ms. ‘ęrr’ is arguably a mistake for ér ‘you’ (pl.) See further discussion in Ǫrv 69, Note to ll. 5-8.
