[3, 5] gengum; fengu vér ‘we set about; we married’: These are instances, not infrequent in Krm, of 1st pers. pl. forms (whether of verbs or pronouns) seeming to have singular reference to the speaker of the poem. On the treatment of such instances in the present edn, see the Introduction. Cf. also Helgi Guðmundsson (1972, 34-44) and McTurk (2011a).
