Note to Steinn Nizv 4II

[5-8]: The H-Hr variant of this helmingr, which is clearly secondary, can be construed as follows: [[ALT]] Prose order: Brandr hrauð af sér flóð benja í rauðu blóði; grjót ok ǫrvar brá fljótt fjǫrvi feigra/frægra gotna. Translation: The blade shed a flood of wounds [BLOOD] in the red blood; rocks and arrows quickly put an end to the life of doomed/famous men.
