This
þula (
Þul Spjóts) enumerates
heiti for ‘spear’. It is recorded in mss R (main ms.),
Tˣ, C, A and B (and
744ˣ) of
SnE. In mss A and B it has the heading
Spjóts heiti ‘Names for spear’, in A written in red ink. In the
þulur-sequence,
Þul Spjóts is preceded by
Þul Øxar and followed by
Þul Ǫrvar in all the mss. Most of the
heiti contained in this
þula are listed in
LaufE (
LaufE 1979, 306, 397; mss
papp10ˣ(52v),
2368ˣ(132-133),
743ˣ(99v)), but the variants do not allow for an attribution to a specific redaction. The list in
LaufE was copied in RE 1665(Ll 3) from a
LaufE ms. close to
743ˣ.
