[6]: Rugman could not read the last word of the line and wrote ‘ul’ in papp25ˣ. In R683ˣ he first wrote ‘uk’ to which the nonsensical ‘alur’ was added in a later hand. Skj B leaves the space open, and Kock (NN §2071) reconstructs ókátr ‘unhappy’ (< ‘ukalur’). He later (NN §2990F) changes that to fákátr ‘little happy’, no doubt to avoid double alliteration on two vowels in the even line, but neither cpd provides the required aðalhending. Jón Helgason (Hl 1941) tentatively suggests vítt hatr ‘widely hated,’ but that reading remains conjectural. As it stands, the sentence in ll. 5-6 is syntactically incomplete because it lacks an object to lét ‘gave’ (l. 5), and that object was likely contained in the last word of l. 6.
