Note to Ǫlvǫr Lv 1VIII (Ǫrv 4)

[1] um frák ‘I have heard’: All mss have the verb frák, except for 344a, whose hefik hér is metrically less good and a lectio facilior. Ms. 7’s archaic pleonastic particle of has been normalised to the later um here in accordance with this volume’s policy of normalising to the period 1250-1300; see further Note to Ásm 1/3, 5. A similar normalisation from of to um occurs at Ǫrv 6/6 and 138/8.
