[3] í landi ‘in the land’: Kock (NN §1836) argues that this prepositional phrase ought to belong to the second rather than to the first clause (‘thus the linden of linen [WOMAN] in the land commanded’), and that ‘in the land’ means ‘at home’. That word order is entirely possible, although land does not appear to be attested in this meaning (see Fritzner: land). SnE 1848-87, I, offers in patria degens ‘living in the homeland’. The present edn follows Skj B and SnE 1998.
