notes
[3] feginsdegi ‘day of joy’: In poetry only here and in the form feginsdœgr in ǪrvOdd Ævdr 36VIII. The cpd is not difficult to construe: it is clearly a term for Judgement Day. Njörður Njarðvík (1991, 109) notes the phrase occurring in this sense in prose in Sv (Sv 1920, 42). It seems, however, to have caused later scribes a great deal of difficulty.
