Note to GunnLeif Merl II 23VIII

[7-8] ok sær sœkja saman fíkjum ‘and the sea will come together greatly’: I.e. ‘the sea will shrink considerably’. These lines seem to refer to the narrowing of the English Channel, as mentioned in DGB’s mare ... breue spacium contrahetur (see Note to [All] above), translated lit. ‘the sea ... will be drawn together in a small space’.
