[7] þrályndi gafsk ‘obstinacy affected’: I.e. the Þrœndir proved obstinate (in swearing allegiance to Óláfr Tryggvason). For gefask in the sense ‘to be experienced as an outcome, to show itself, prove’; see LP: gefa 11. Fekksk ‘was given, was granted’, the reading of Kˣ, J2ˣ and the TGT mss, is also possible, with similar sense: ‘obstinacy was granted to the Þrœndir’, ‘the Þrœndir grew obstinate’. It has less comprehensive support across the ms. groupings, however.
