Note to Anon (FoGT) 16III

[2] og þörf sína ‘and his desire’: The prose gloss appears to understand this phrase to refer to the man’s desire for the woman, whom he hopes to attract with a present of clothing, although sína, being reflexive, should properly refer back to the grammatical subject of the sentence, kona mín ‘my wife’ and denote her desire, not the man’s.
