[8] varg at tafni ‘as food for the wolf’: This interpretation follows Hl 1941. Skj B emends ‘væigar tafne’ (l. 7) to veigar hrafna ‘of the ravens’ intoxicant [BLOOD]’ as a qualifier to knífum (‘knives of blood’ i.e. ‘swords’; so also Skald). As Jón Helgason points out (Hl 1941), the reading tafni ‘carrion’ is supported by both mss, and Rugman may have misread varg at as ‘væigar’. For varg (m. dat. sg.) ‘wolf’, see ANG §358.3.
