Note to Kolb Jónv 4^VII

[1, 2, 4] þú lézt hag hreinnar drótningar hugat blíðliga síðan ‘you let the circumstances of the pure queen be attended to kindly thereafter’: The ms. reading ‘leitz’ could be interpreted as the 2nd pers. sg. pret. indic. form of the verb líta ‘to look’, leizt ‘looked’ or as the corresponding m.v. form ‘looked at yourself/for yourself’. Neither verb form makes sense in the passage at hand and all eds follow Bugge’s emendation to lézt (= 2nd pers. sg. pret. indic. form of the verb láta ‘let’; Jón⁴ 1874, 935). Bugge’s emendation of hugat ‘attended to’ to huggat ‘comforted’ (Jón⁴ 1874, 935 n. 2) makes the l. too long by introducing a long plus a short syllable (= 2 syllables).
