Note to Hharð Lv 8II

[7, 8] lauki lítit gæft til auka ‘the leek needs little to grow strong’: Lit. ‘to the leek little needs to be given to increase’. This must refer to Haraldr’s enemies (as paraphrased in the preceding prose); i.e. unless nipped in the bud, small transgressions will increase and become a real threat.
