[All]: The headings are xxij. ‘the twenty-second’ (Tˣ) and detthent (U(47r)). The term detthent most likely refers to the fact that the full stress at the end of the even lines fell on the hending in position 5, which was preceded by the first, usually short nominal syllable (ó-, fé-, fjǫl-) in a trisyllabic cpd carrying secondary, rather than primary stress. See also RvHbreiðm Hl 35-6, Kuhn (1983, 177-8) and Gade (1995a, 96).
