[3] prútt lík ‘the splendid corpses’: Lit. ‘splendid corpse’. Lík (n. acc. sg.) ‘corpse’ is used with a pl. meaning. The variant prúð lík (n. acc. pl.) ‘splendid corpses’ (so F, Hr) has been adopted by Skj B and Skald, but that reading is secondary. Alternatively, prútt could be taken as an adv. ‘splendidly, bravely’ with sleit ‘tore’ (l. 2), but that is less likely from a contextual point of view.
