[All]: The heading is langlokum ‘with late closures’ (U(47r) and added in R (R*)). For a discussion of this term and the use of the dat. (‘(composed) with late closures’), see SnE 2007, 52, 129. The term is also used in RvHbreiðm Hl, but other than in the present stanza and in Hl 59-60 this stylistic device is not attested elsewhere in the skaldic corpus.
