Note to SnSt Ht 52III

[4] tiggja ‘lord’: The later form tiggja (rather than tyggja) is warranted by the internal rhyme, since tyggja (so Skj B) would form aðalhending with glygg ‘the strong wind’. Skúli is referred to as frækn tiggi grundar ‘the bold lord of the land’ (ll. 3, 4) as regent of Norway during Hákon’s minority.
