Note to Gestumbl Heiðr 24VIII (Heiðr 71)

[All]: Heiðrekr’s response is (Heiðr 1960, 42): Þat eru bárur, en beðir þeira eru sker ok urðir, en þær verða lítt sénar í logni ‘Those are waves, and their beds are skerries and stones, but they are little seen in calm weather’. The H redaction has (Heiðr 1924, 73): þat eru enn Ægis meyjar, ok fǫrlaz þér nú mjǫk framburðrinn ok muntu nú vilja þola dóm spekinga ‘Those are again Ægir’s girls, and you grow very weak now in your delivery, and must now wish to suffer the judgement of wise men’.
