[5-6]: This long-line is metrically defective and a word must be missing either from the first or the second half-line. Neither ms. has a lacuna here, which indicates that the word was left out in the A, B exemplar. The LaufE mss have an additional heiti that is not recorded in the present þula, namely vari ‘cautious, attentive, watchful one’ (see Notes to óværi ‘restless one’ l. 2 above and to Andvari, Þul Dverga 3/3), which is not otherwise attested in poetry as a heiti for ‘raven’. If we assume that vari was originally included in the þula, it must have preceded hornklofi ‘horn-splitter’ (l. 5), and ll. 5-6 would be reconstructed as follows (as a Type D- plus a Type D4-line if the last word is emended; see Note to l. 6 below): vari, hornklofi, | viti, klóakan ‘cautious one, horn-splitter, wise one, sharp-clawed one’.
