notes and context

As st. 21 above.

[1-2, 4]: The readings of these lines cannot be restored. Skj B and Skald do not attempt to reconstruct the missing parts, and Finnur Jónsson and Kock reproduce the normalised ms. readings as in the present edn. Jón Helgason’s (Hl 1941) attempted reconstruction of this stanza is completely conjectural and is not reproduced here.
