[6-7] dýrar jarðir geðs ‘the beloved lands of the mind [HEARTS]’: In Bret 1848-9 and Skj B, the latter followed by Merl 2012, geðs ‘of the mind’ is grouped with gollorheimi ‘in the home of the pericardium’ (Skj B has sjælens hjærteverden ‘heart-world of the soul’), but there it is redundant, whereas it is positively required as a determinant for jarðir ‘lands’, to generate a kenning for a part of the body, as is evident from the parallelism with kverkr ‘throats’ in l. 9. Cf. II 35/6, where gollorhallir ‘halls of the pericardium’, a parallel formation, signifies ‘breasts’.
