Note to Anon Vitn 21VII

[6] gott ... dróttinn: The internal rhyme (-ott : -ótt-) is skothent rather than aðalhent, but it probably indicates the instability of the length of the vowel preceding the consonant cluster -tt. It is unclear whether the [o:] has been already shortened to [o], and here and elsewhere the length has been retained graphemically as <ó> in dróttinn ‘Lord’.
