Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 69III

[5] bargsk ‘saved themselves’: The mss. have ‘barsc’ which can be normalised as barsk (inf. berask) ‘befell’. This appears to be an instance of loss of medial [g], however (see Hl 1941, 113). The line is repeated as l. 5 in st. 77, which contains the word bargsk (‘bargs’) in this very position in an identical clause (bargsk ǫld ‘people saved themselves’).
