[2] hála feitan ‘splendidly fat’: Kölbing (1876, followed by CPB) construes the 603 reading as halafeitan ‘tail-fat’, while Jón Þorkelsson (1888; 1922-7) opts for the Rask87ˣ variant harðfeitan ‘very fat’. Both of these readings are hypometrical. Páll Eggert Ólason (1947) renders ll. 1-2 as follows: Hef eg margan | heldr harðfeitan which is also unmetrical (two alliterating staves in the even line). For the adv. hála ‘splendidly’ modifying adjectives, see LP: hôla.
