Note to Anon (TGT) 13III

[All]: Óláfr explains the ellipsis in this half-stanza as follows (TGT 1927, 58): Hér skortir konungs nafn eða kenning til fulls máls ‘Here a name or kenning for the king is missing for a full sentence’. The adj. hvatráðr ‘resourceful’ is used substantively, however (‘the resourceful one’).
