notes
[2] harðmóðigr ‘extremely stirred’: This word (usually rendered as harðmóðugr with a different grade of ablaut in the suffix) is attested in the meaning ‘hostile’ (see Fritzner: harðmóðugr; Akv 13/6 in NK 242) which is at odds with the prose text (see NN §2990D). Harðmóðugr is synonymous with harðhugaðr ‘hostile’ which also occurs in the meaning ‘agitated, moved, stirred’ (Fritzner: harðmóðugr; harðhugaðr), and móðugr and harðhugaðr ‘agitated, moved, stirred’ are used synonymously in Guðr I, 5/3-6 (NK 202). From the prose context it is clear that the Mork redactor must have understood harðmóðigr in this sense. It is likely, however, that remaining, now lost, ll. of the helmingr contained information that would have shed light on the use of this word.
varð ‘became’
(not checked:)
1. verða (verb): become, be

When Sigurðr returned to Norway, the people welcomed him warmly: [skaldit] segir. hverso fegnir menn vrþo honom er hann com heim iland ‘[the skald] reports how joyful people became when he returned to his country’ (Mork 1928-32, 352).
None of the mss identifies the poet of this fragment, but the metre (tøglag) suggests that it belongs to Stuttdr.
