[3] at uppiverandi sólu ‘while the sun is up’: This expression is a prepositional phrase which closely resembles an ablative absolute in Latin: at + p. p. in the dat. (verandi ‘being’ = pres. p. of vera ‘be’). A more lit. translation would be ‘with the sun being up’. Such constructions are more common in Old Norse prose texts, but Hárb 58/2 provides a very similar example from eddic poetry (see also the examples cited in NS §229 Anm. 2; Nygaard 1879, 207; Fritzner: at 11; ONP: at I. + dat. C. (temp.) 1).
