Note to EVald Þórr 3III

[1] svá brá viðr ‘so it came about’: Understood here as an impersonal construction. Skj B regards seiðr jarðar ‘the saithe of the earth’ as the subject of the main clause, seiðr jarðar brá svá viðr, at hnefar mágs Ulls skullu út at borði ‘the saithe of the earth struggled so hard that the fists of the kinsman of Ullr banged out along the gunwale’.
