[5] mik varði þess eigi ‘it did not occur to me’: The verb vara ‘expect’ is used impersonally with the acc. of the person who expects and the gen. of what is expected (LP: 2. vara). Several eds emend the line to produce regular alliteration with l. 6. Thus Skj B and Skald emend l. 5 to hins mik eigi varði and Mik hins ei varði respectively (with little change to the meaning), whilst Guðni Jónsson (FSGJ) and the eds of Edd. Min. emend to Hæng þess eigi varði ‘It did not occur to Hœngr [= me]’.
