notes and context
The following heiti are also given in A(14v) (SnE 1848-87, II, 459): vǫnsuðr m. ‘wanderer’ (l. 1), élreki m. ‘storm-driver’ (l. 2), blær m. ‘airstream’ (l. 3), þoka f. ‘mist’ (l. 4) and mugga f. ‘mugginess’ (l. 7). — [5-6]: Ms. B has a slightly different version of these two lines (normalised from 744ˣ): hregg, úr, rota | hríð, myrkvi, él ‘hailstorm, drizzle, rainstorm, storm, darkness, hail’. The B variant must stem from an attempt to correct what was perceived to be imperfect alliteration (on r- : hr-; see Note to l. 6 below), but in this version hregg is given twice (also in l. 8).
