Note to Þul Fiska 3III

[All]: The order of heiti in ll. 2-8 in mss R(43v) and C(12v) differs from that of A, B and : [[ALT]] Readings: [1] þrǫmmungr: ‘þrummungr’ C   [2] mar-: jarn- C   [4] lýr: lýrr C   [5] hamarr: ‘humar’ C   [7] glǫmmungr: so C, ‘glavmmvgr’ R. It cannot be ascertained whether the form this stanza has in A (main ms.), B and is original, because it may reflect a later attempt to rearrange the incorrect verse in order to restore the alliteration missing in ll. 1-2, 7-8 of mss R and C. However, the defective alliteration of the R, C redaction, as well as the fact that ms. follows the A, B redaction here, makes it likely that the order of lines as represented by A, B and is correct.
