Note to BjRagn Lv 4VIII (Ragn 29)

[5]: Rafn (FSN) reads the final word in the line as granna, thus presumably taking it as gen. sg. or pl. of granni m. ‘neighbour’ (cf. Ragn 37/8, below) which hardly gives satisfactory sense in the present context of combat in southern Europe. All other eds, followed here in this instance, read grána f. acc. sg. of gránn adj. ‘grey’, agreeing with grön f.‘moustache, (upper) lip’.
