[1] sóta (f.) ‘struggle’: According to AEW: sóta, this heiti is a loanword from Finnish (cf. Finnish sota ‘battle’). Mss A and B have sókn f. ‘assault’ (see l. 2), as do the LaufE mss. According to Finnur Jónsson (1926-8: sóta), this heiti is used several times in the rímur, but it is not otherwise attested in skaldic poetry.
