[3] bölharða ‘harm-hard’: This is the reading of 7 and 344a. The cpd is a hap. leg. and its meaning is presumably that the berserk brothers were tough when faced with the rigours of battle. Skj B and Skald prefer the reading of 471 (supported by that of 343a), böðharða ‘battle-hard’, a cpd attested from several skaldic poems (cf. LP: bǫðharðr).
