Note to Anon (TGT) 7III

[All]: The collisiones here possibly occurs in the consonants -g br- in hjǫrflaug brimis ‘weapon-flight … of the sword’. SnE 1848-87, II, 110 suggests brims draugar, possibly the cluster -ms dr- (although TGT 1927, 49 n. interprets this as br- … dr-). If a broader sense of snarpr as ‘harsh-sounding’ is used (see Context to st. 6), either consonant cluster could be meant. Possible candidates are also the clusters ‑r fr- (l. 1) and ‑rfl- (l. 2), which are closer to the examples provided by Sedulius Scottus (see st. 6, Note to [All]).
