Note to ǪrvOdd Lv 17VIII (Ǫrv 50)

[7] hrókr hernuminn ‘forcibly taken chatterbox’: Compare Ǫrv 46/10 and Note. Hrókr means ‘rook’ and by extension is a term of abuse for a garrulous person. As often, 344a offers a rather different text from the other mss, hrottar hernumnir ‘forcibly taken ruffians’ with the dual pers. pron. and pl. verb þit þegit in l. 8.
