[5] stef ‘the poem’: Lit. ‘refrain’. Fidjestøl (1982, 248) suggests that the refrain (stef) that Snorri appears to be referring to here is the repetition in sts 82/7-8 and 94/7-8. Stef can also mean ‘poem’, however (see Konráð Gíslason 1895-7 and Þstf Lv 2/2II), and it is taken in that meaning in the present edn.
