[1, 4] væri á bœnum ‘were at the farm’: Bœnum (< bœr ‘farm’) could also come from the word bœn ‘prayer, request’, possibly giving a meaning such as, ‘were occupied with praying’. Finnur Jónsson (TGT 1927, 93) points out that there would have been consequently a slight difference in pronunciation between bœ-(i)num (< bœr) and bœn-um (< bœn). This may be the basis of the distinction Óláfr refers to in the prose.

Cited as an example of barbarismus where an accent is added to a syllable (viðrlagning hljóðsgreinar), as shown by the presence of an accent on bœnum (TGT 1927, 46): hér er bǽnum sett fyrir bæ̂num ‘here bǽnum is used for bæ̂num’ (mss A and W have these accents, although the first is unclear in A; see TGT 1927, 46 n. 5).
