4. Formats for reference to frequently used printed works

a.       Editions:

Finnur Jónsson's Skjaldedigtning: Skj AI, 47; Skj BI, 43.

Kock's Skaldediktningen: Skald I, 85.

Kock's Notationes Norrœnæ: NN §§423, 425.

Fornmannasögur: Fms 6, 14.

Íslenzk fornrit volumes: ÍF 8, 87. 

Íslendinga sögur 1987: ÍS 1237.

# Note that it is not necessary to indicate in the Notes which vol. of Skj or Skald (I or II) is meant, unless referring to something other in these editions than the stanza under discussion. It is, however, often necessary to distinguish Skj A from Skj B.

‡ b.   References to dictionary entries:

i. For a simple reference, the format includes a colon (in roman), followed by the headword (in italics), e.g.:

         Fritzner: koma; 

         Sigfús Blöndal 1920-4: hestr.

ii. When there are homonyms, give the grammatical description in order to disambiguate, e.g.:

         leikr m. as opposed to

leikr adj.

iii. If it is necessary to point the reader to a particular sense of the word, use a numeral, following the dictionary's own numbering, e.g.:

         LP: skyldr 2

Fritzner: koma (koma á 3)

Supplement to Fritzner is Fritzner IV.
