Note to Anon Phoenix 1III

[2]: The line is not a normal verse type, comprising just three metrical positions. It might be scanned as belonging to Type E if secondary stress were accorded the second syllable of hingat ‘here’ (literally ‘hither’), though that would be most unusual. Yet Suzuki (2014, 138-41) identifies 21 lines in the Poetic Edda with the same structure (e.g. Vsp 29/2 (NK 7) hringa oc men ‘rings and necklaces’) and explains them as a catalectic variety of Type A1.
