[3] fátt it réttra ‘few things more true’: The phrase is grammatically sg. Kock (NN §2013; Skald) disputes the need for emendation, reading fátt it rétta. This would mean ‘few things [that are] true’, presumably referring to the speech of the accuser rather than the poet, but this seems unlikely given that the accuser is not introduced until the second helmingr.
