[8] hringrinn ‘the ring’: For the cliticisation of the def. art. ‑inn, see ANG §472. Ms. 743ˣ reads hringurinn ‘the ring’ with a cliticised def. art. and a C14th desyllabified [r], which makes the line hypermetrical. Árni Magnússon emended the 743ˣ reading to hringur, which is another C14th form. Skj B (and Skald) adopts the 2368ˣ variant óðr es hringr Þrymlinga ‘furious is the ring of Tromlingene’, which makes the line unmetrical (there is otherwise no such line in the inventory of dróttkvætt lines).
