Note to Gestumbl Heiðr 29VIII (Heiðr 76)

[6]: The H redaction has the variant line ok optast óhreinn ‘most often unclean’. Skald gives ok óhreinn opt ‘and often unclean’, with rearranged word order for more regular ljóðaháttr (NN §3397; cf. Notes to ll. 3 and 5 above), though in NN §2362 Kock retains the H redaction’s reading unemended.
