Note to Rv Lv 12II

[6] ǫrlyndr ‘gallant’: As pointed out in LP, it can be hard to distinguish between the meanings ‘brave’ and ‘generous’ for this word, so the translation ‘gallant’ has been chosen as covering both connotations. The prose context might suggest that ‘generous’ is more appropriate here.
