Note to Ív Sig 38II

[7] hruðusk ‘were cleared’: Ruðusk ‘were reddened’ (so Mork) has been emended to hruðusk ‘were cleared’ with earlier eds. Although ‘reddened’ (with blood) could make sense, the prose texts of both Mork (Mork 1928-32, 432) and Hkr (ÍF 28, 316) state explicitly that the ships were cleared at this point.
