Note to Anon Mv I 22VII

[7] bandið ... af brúði ‘band ... off the lady’: The l. lacks internal rhyme, and Kock emends af brúði ‘off the lady’ to af brandi ‘from the fire’ (see NN §2866). Skj B retains the ms. reading, but connects the prepositional phrase af brúði ‘off the lady’ with the last cl. (‘the fetters melted off the lady’; so also Wrightson), again complicating the w.o. Mar (1871, 1203) offers the following reading: enn bo᷎ndin ero brvnnin af henni ‘but the bands have been burned off her’. See also Schottmann (1973, 363).
