Kross ‘A cross’
(not checked:)
(non-lexical)
hangir ‘hangs’
(not checked:)
1. hanga (verb): hang
þul ‘poet’
(not checked:)
þulr (noun m.): poet
notes
[1] þul ‘poet’: Þulr occurs in eddic poetry, but the only other skaldic occurrence is in HaukrV Ísldr 18/5IV. However, its verbal derivative þylja ‘recite’ occurs in a number of skaldic sts. The meaning ‘poet’ here is clear enough, though the implications of Rǫgnvaldr’s choice of such an unusual term are less so.
þessum ‘of this’
(not checked:)
1. sjá (pron.; °gen. þessa dat. þessum/þeima, acc. þenna; f. sjá/þessi; n. þetta, dat. þessu/þvísa; pl. þessir): this
þjóst ‘the tumult’
(not checked:)
þjóst (noun n.): [tumult]
notes
[2] þjóst ‘the tumult’: Þjóstr is normally m. LP suggests a unique n. form here, while Kock (NN §3110) prefers to keep it as m., either in the acc. or as an endingless dat., in either case giving an impersonal construction. The meaning is clear regardless of the grammar: Rǫgnvaldr is urging his men to behave respectfully as they approach the holy places.
