Note to Þdís Þórr 2^III

[All]: Most of the verbs in this stanza, with the exception of ball ‘there was a clang, it resounded’ (l. 1), dó ‘[she] had died’ (l. 6) and vas ‘was’ (l. 7), which are in the 3rd pers. sg. pret. indic., are 2nd pers. sg. forms, directly addressing Þórr. In order to produce metrically regular lines, it has been necessary to delete the suffixed or free-standing 2nd pers. sg. pronouns that accompany them in all mss, except for U’s heptuð (l. 5), which is 2nd pers. pl., a form favoured by Skj B and Skald, but rejected here in favour of W’s heptir, which is supported by the reading of R, Tˣ, where the scribes seem to have misunderstood an abbreviated <tir>.
