Note to Gestumbl Heiðr 22VIII (Heiðr 69)

[1-2]: See the preceding riddle, Heiðr 68, Note to ll. 1-2. As there, the other mss are in agreement on the readings chosen here, although they are not those of the main ms. Syrgjandi ‘sorrowing’ in 2845 is extrametrical, but could have been influenced by the line edited here as Heiðr 68/2 (which follows the present stanza in 2845).
