Note to Anon 732b 1III

[7] mjó ‘slight’: Lit. ‘thin’. Kock (Skald; Metr. §29) suggests emending mjó to mjúk ‘soft, gentle’, in order to restore skothending, although this is less appropriate semantically (cf. Finnur Jónsson 1934a, 60). Emendation of slík ‘such’ (n. nom. pl. adj.) to svá ‘thus’ (adv.) would be a preferable alternative.
