Note to GunnLeif Merl II 15^VIII

[8] sjalfri ‘actual’: This adj. is translated as saalunde ‘thus’ (referring to the ensuing speech) in Bret 1848-9 and left unaccounted for in Skj B; Merl 2012 translates und selbst mit der Stimme eines Menschen sprechen ‘and itself speak with the voice of a man’. But sjalfri is dat., qualifying rǫddu ‘voice’, and should be construed in the sense of ‘very, actual’ (cf. CVC: sjálfr). Gunnlaugr’s translation thereby emphasises the miraculous nature of the event more than is expressed in the Latin.
