[6] Stórverksson: This line is hypometrical. The second element of this pers. n. is usually spelled ‑virkr in the mss’ prose texts, but here the spelling of the sole ms. is followed, including the form ‑son. Skj B and Skald substitute the more common sonr, but the nom. form without <r> is common; cf. ANG §395.1 and Gautr 26, Note to l. 5.
