Note to Anon Líkn 41VII

[7-8] vinnim skýrða ‘we might express, explain [lit. might make expressed, explained]’: Vinna with predicative adj. or (as here) part. ‘to make _-ed’; i.e. with skýrða ‘to make told, explained’ or simply ‘to express, explain’. The form is pres. subj.; the antecedent of skýrða (acc. f. p.p.) is dýrð ‘glory’ (l. 8). On dýrð : skýrða cf. Geisl 66/2 and EGils Guðv 4/3-4IV.
