[6] sveipinn ‘wrapped’: None of the ms. forms are satisfactory here. They have thus been emended to the appropriate form of the p. p. of the strong verb sveipa ‘sweep, stroke, wrap’. FSGJ favours the form sveiptan (from sveipa, ‑ta, ‑tr) with the same meaning. The notion of wrapping the sword in gold may refer to the sword hilt, which was frequently wrapped around with gold wires.
