Note to SnSt Ht 70^III

[8]: This line concludes the split refrain in st. 68/1 (see Note to that line above). According to Snorri’s commentary, a correct refrain in tøgdrápulag ‘journey-poem metre’ should commence in the first line of the first stanza and be completed in the last line of the last stanza, i.e. the last stanza of the section of the poem comprising a stefjamél ‘refrain passage’ or ‘stef-interval’. An entire poem could contain several stefjamél with various split refrains, but, according to Snorri, all refrain passages ought to be of equal length.
