notes
[2] bjartir dǫglingar (m. nom. pl.) ‘the cheerful princes’: If the R variant is retained, dǫglinga (m. gen. pl.) ‘of the princes’, could either qualify hauðr ‘land’ (l. 1) or seggir ‘men’ (l. 4). Skj B adopts dǫglinga and, following Rask (SnE 1848-87, I, 474 n. 2), emends bjartir (m. nom. pl.) ‘cheerful’ to bjartra (m. gen. pl.): framir seggir bjartra dǫglinga ‘the outstanding men of the cheerful princes’.
