Here and in some other stanzas of this þula (cf. sts 6/1-4, 7 and 9), the nautical terms are deliberately collected and put together according to their initial sound. — Ms. R is partially illegible and A is the main ms. for this stanza, which is reflected in the order of the mss. — [8]: The capital letter ‘S’ (‘Sess’) in C indicates that this is the first line of the next stanza in that ms.
Text is based on reconstruction from the base text and variant apparatus and may contain alternative spellings and other normalisations not visible in the manuscript text. Transcriptions may not have been checked and should not be cited.
