[2] hlífir Dönum ‘protects Danes’: Ms. R715ˣ has Danir skemma ‘the Danes damage’, although in the prose solution (Heiðr 1924, 138), hann skeina Danir opt ‘the Danes scratch him often’. Either (skemma or skeina) provides an acceptable alternative. ‘Danes’ should perhaps be understood as men in general (Heiðr 1956, 81 n. to p. 45, l. 4).
