Note to GunnLeif Merl I 43^VIII

[1] mun* ‘will’: Emended in this edn from Hb munu. Also emended to mun in Skj B (followed by Skald), but perhaps tentatively, since the translation in Skj B (albeit rather loose) presupposes retention of a pl. verb to match the pl. subject ‘snakes’: vil der være stor strid mellem ormene ‘there will be great strife between the snakes’. Kock does not comment on the matter. Bret 1848-9 had retained munu with a similar translation and it is retained without comment in Hb 1892-6. Merl 2012 would also retain, noting that belti ‘belt’, as a n. noun, could be either sg. or pl. But a pl. in l. 1 followed by sg. hann in l. 8 would be odd and the evidence of DGB speaks against it.
