Note to Hjálm Lv 12VIII (Ǫrv 22)

[3] skjótt réð um þat ‘that was quickly decided’: Treated here as an impersonal intercalary clause. Both Skj and Skald have rézk, based on the readings of the younger mss, and construe skjótt rézk of þat á skapadægri ‘I decided swiftly about that on the fated day’.
