sleit ‘was brought to an end’
(not checked:)

notes

(not checked:)
1. hungr (noun m.; °hungrs/-s, dat. hungri, acc. hungr/hung): hunger
notes
[2] hárr ‘grey’: All mss have hár ‘high, sublime’, which makes no sense in the context. Hárr ‘grey’ can also mean ‘old’.
gylðir ‘howler’
(not checked:)

notes

[3] á Fenri (‘afenri’): ‘af eire’ U, ‘ä jmri’ papp10ˣ, ‘a jmre’ 2368ˣ
notes
[3] á Fenri ‘on Fenrir <wolf>’: A mythical wolf and son of Loki (see Note to Þul Vargs 1/6). This prepositional phrase is rendered as ‘afenri’ in R, and the variants suggest that the different scribes (U, the LaufE mss) tried to make sense of this phrase in various ways. The U variant can be normalised as af eiri ‘from mercy’, and (normalised) á ímri in the LaufE mss was likely taken from the list of heiti for ‘wolf’ preceding Ill HarII and HSn Magndr in those mss (ímir, ímr; LaufE 1979, 309, 401; cf. ímr ‘dusky one’, Þul Vargs 1/9 and Note there).
