Note to Sturl Hákkv 26II

[3-4] grams Hörða ... með himinskautum, ‘of the lord of the Hǫrðar [NORWEGIAN KING = Hákon] … along the corners of heaven’: The reading of Flat, which is metrically and contextually possible, can be construed as follows: grams Vörsameð vellskötum ‘of the lord of the Vǫrsar [NORWEGIAN KING = Hákon] … among generous men’ (see LP: vellskati).
