[5] hann verða: þjófur Rask87ˣ
notes
[5] hann verða ‘he has’: In Rask87ˣ this phrase is replaced by þjófur ‘thief’, resulting in double alliteration in this odd line, which is metrically fine but has consequences for the structure of the next two lines (see Notes to ll. 6 and 7).

notes
[6] þjófr ‘thief’: Because, in Rask87ˣ, þjófur ‘thief’ was moved to l. 5 (see Note to l. 5), mjög ‘very’ has been added in its place. The adv. is, however, unmetrical, because it leaves the line without alliteration.
