Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 24III

[1]: The missing word(s) in this line must have contained the subject of the verb vakði ‘stirred up’. Skj B supplies hildingr ‘lord’, whereas Jón Helgason (Hl 1941) conjectures her-Baldr ‘battle-Baldr’ to have the rhyme fall on the ultimate rather than on the penultimate syllable.
