[3] ok hræðumz ek ei Hremsu bit ‘and I do not fear Hremsa’s bite’: Some previous eds (Finnur Jónsson, Kock, Edd. Min.) improve this line to reduce the number of syllables: they substitute hræðumkat ‘I do not fear’ or hræddumkat ‘I do not fear’, a verb form (m. v.) with the enclitic negative particle ‑at, for hræðumz ek ei. Guðni Jónsson (FSGJ) and Rafn (FSN) retain ek but change the negative particle to eigi.
