Note to Rv Lv 20II

[1, 4] vôn fundar konu; út á Spáni ‘hopes of meeting the woman; out in Spain’: Skj B construes the adverbial phrase with the framing cl. of this helmingr, but it is not clear which woman the poet might expect to meet in Spain. Since Ermingerðr is mentioned in l. 8, it is most likely that this is also a reference to her, and that Rǫgnvaldr is interweaving his memories, thoughts and expectations of her with his current activities, as also in sts 15, 17, 19, 21-2, 25.
