Note to Mark Eirdr 13II

[1] þorðut ‘had not dared’: All eds emend to þorðu ‘dared’, but the reading of the mss is acceptable if the pret. form is understood to have pluperfect force (see NS §324b): the Wends had not previously dared to take the lands, but then the news of their treachery was heard from the south.
