[3] l...: A possible restoration would be lyrg (m. nom. sg. lyrgr), a rare word meaning ‘forelock’. Though not entirely convincing, this seems the least implausible of the various possibilities permitted by metre, alliteration, semantics and context. Bugge (1871a, 519) supplies lô ‘wave’. In prose, lô denotes ‘the line of shoal water along the shore’ (CVC: lá), but in verse it takes on the meaning ‘wave’. It is nowhere else used to refer to hair.
