Note to SnSt Ht 75III

[All]: For this metre, see also RvHbreiðm Hl 29-30. It is not attested elsewhere. As far as the odd lines are concerned, ll. 1 and 5 are structured as hálfhnept ‘half-curtailed’ even lines (see st. 77). For metrically similar (non-catalectic) lines in málaháttr, see, e.g. Þhorn Harkv 6/1I Úti vill jól drekka lit. ‘Out at sea wants Yuletide to toast’ (= ll. 1, 5) and Am 64/3 (NK 257) at árna ánauðgom lit. ‘to plea for the oppressed one’ (= ll. 3, 7).
