[4] vegin (f. acc. sg. or n. nom./acc. pl.) ‘slain’: This is usually emended to veginn (m. nom. or acc. sg.), qualifying a word referring to Hǫgni in one of the missing lines, and it could well be that the final <n> has been omitted, since <n> for <nn> is frequently found in both mss (see Hl 1941, 106 and Introduction above). Jón Helgason (Hl 1941) makes an attempt at reconstructing the stanza, but that reconstruction is completely conjectural and also in violation of the metre.
