Note to Anon Krm 19VIII

[2] sverðs ‘of the sword’: The present ed. follows the example of Finnur Jónsson (1893b; 1905; Skj B) and Kock (Skald) in adopting this reading here in preference to the reading suðr ‘southwards, in the south’, adopted in all eds prior to Finnur (1893b). Sverðs provides the determinant required to form the battle-kenning leik sverðs ‘the game of the sword [BATTLE]’.
