[4] hlaupa undan ‘escape’: Lit. ‘run away’. So Rask87ˣ and adopted by Jón Þorkelsson (1888; 1922-7), Páll Eggert Ólason (1947) and in the present edn. Ms. 603 has ‘hlida’ (rendered as hlíða by Kölbing and hliða in CPB), which must be the weak verb hliða ‘turn aside, back’, and requires suspended resolution on the second lift. Jón Þorkelsson (1888; 1922-7 followed by Páll Eggert Ólason 1947) changes the word order in this line from undan hlaupa to hlaupa undan to achieve alliteration on h- (alliterating with hvergi ‘anywhere’, l. 3), but that emendation is unnecessary if we assume that l. 3 is a Type C with vowel alliteration on eg ‘I’.
