notes
[1] hǫfum ‘we [I] have’: B reads ‘ho᷎f’, Rydberg (1907, 21 n. 11) noting the possible presence of a nasal stroke over ‘f’, and Skj A presuming its existence. 399a-bˣ, followed by Sveinbjörn Egilsson and Kempff, interprets the sign as an accent. Skj A suggests reconstruction to hǫfum, which is adopted by Skald, Black and here.
