Note to Þjóð Haustl 18III

[All]: There is a partial discrepancy between this stanza’s statement that Þórr caused Hrungnir to fall on his shield (ll. 1-4) and the elaborate narrative of Skm (SnE 1998, I, 22), in which Þórr fell forward, hit in the forehead by a shaft from Hrungnir’s whetstone, while Hrungnir himself, hit by Mjǫllnir, fell forward over the prostrate Þórr so that one leg lay over the god’s neck.
