Note to Anon Eirm 4I

[1] mæla * heimsku ‘talk nonsense’: The speaker is Óðinn. The phrase identifying him as such in the mss, however, is extrametrical and is omitted here; see Introduction to the poem. It seems that the heimsku ‘nonsense, folly’ Óðinn imputes to the normally wise Bragi is his failure to recognise the newcomer, though the details of the text are difficult (see Notes below).
