Note to Anon Krm 14^VIII

[5, 6-7] varat þörf at frýja öldum leiks Hildar ‘there was no cause to reproach people over the game of Hildr <valkyrie> [BATTLE]’: I.e. ‘to find fault with the way people fought’. Alone among the various mss 147 has here the gen. form leiks (‘l[…]iks’) which seems to be correct in the context. The verb frýja (cf. st. 5/2, above) in the sense ‘upbraid sby with the lack of sth.’ may take the dat. of the person upbraided and the gen. of the quality lacking, see LP: frýja 2. Most previous eds read leiks, presumably by emendation, since 147 appears to have been illegible to them; see Olsen (Ragn 1906-8, 188). The present ed. adopts the reading leiks from that ms.
