Note to ESk Hardr II 5II

[2, 3] Hlésey ‘Læsø’: This p. n. is taken as a loc. dat. (‘on Læsø’; so also Skj B). Kock (NN §2049) regards it as the object of eyddi ‘destroyed’ (l. 1), which would then serve as a verb governing two parallel objects: eyddi Hlésey ‘destroyed Læsø’ (ll. 1, 2, 3) and eyddi hungr ‘destroyed the hunger’ (ll. 1, 4). Læsø is an island off the north-eastern coast of Jylland, Denmark.
