Note to ǪrvOdd Ævdr 57VIII (Ǫrv 127)

[5] sínum ‘its’: This reflexive possessive adj. is only in ms. 471, but it provides a metrical line, lacking in the other two mss, as well as good sense with the phrase öllum kostum ‘all special qualities’ (l. 8). It is also in the prose texts, ok helt hon ǫllum kostum sínum sem áðr ‘and it [the shirt] kept all its special qualities as before’ (ms. 344a, Ǫrv 1888, 118), ok helt hon ǫllum kostum sínum ‘and it kept all its special qualities’ (ms. 7, Ǫrv 1888, 119).
