Note to Stúfr Stúfdr 3II

[1-4]: The Hkr versions give the following reading of the first helmingr: rð ok reiði grams Egða stóðusk á ýmsum borðum Jórðánar; þat orð rann svikum manna ‘the powers and the wrath of the prince of the Egðir prevailed on both banks of the River Jordan; that news put an end to the treason of men’. Adopting the Hkr readings, Skj B takes reiði ‘wrath’ (l. 1) as the first element of a cpd reiðiorð ‘words of wrath’ (‘the powers and the words of wrath of the prince of the Egðir prevailed on both banks of the River Jordan; that put an end to the treason of men’).
