Note to Anon Stríðk 1III

[8] nefni ‘may name’: Pres. subj. 3rd pers. pl. of nefna ‘name’. Both 2368ˣ and 743ˣ read nafni, dat. sg. of nafn ‘name’ (758ˣ’s reading is illegible) but a verb is required here, and there is no other in the stanza’s second helmingr. Kock (NN §3246) proposes the mss’ nafni may derive from an otherwise unattested ON verb *nafna, but prints nefni in Skald.
