Note to GunnLeif Merl II 30^VIII

[1]: Emended in NN §97 (cf. Skald) from ms. skal (refreshed) to skulu ‘must’. While syntactically speaking skal might be used impersonally, as in Bret 1848-9 and Skj B (followed by Merl 2012), the line as it stands in the ms. is metrically deficient and skal for skulu could have arisen through abbreviation. In this edn þeir is added by analogy with II 31/3 and similar lines, with its antecedent in barmar ‘brothers’ in II 29/7. In Bret 1848-9 ms. ok (refreshed) is emended to í, which is accepted in Skj B with further emendation of suðr to suðri, which might also be right; Merl 2012 rejects this further emendation.
