notes
[6] Skúmi ‘Skúmr’: This pers. n. is assumed to be the dat. sg. of skúmr ‘brown gull, skua, chatterer, gossip’, but some eds (Gautr 1900; Edd. Min.; FSGJ) prefer the form Skúmu, from the nom. sg. Skúma ‘Dusky’ (?). There is certainly evidence for the existence of skúma as a nickname; cf. Biography of the poet Þorleifr skúma in SkP I, where various forms of skúma and skúmr and their likely meanings are discussed.

After Víkarr has got Starkaðr off the floor at Askr, he equips him with clothes and weapons and gathers a troop of champions (kappar) and duellists (hólmgǫngumenn). Vík 8 and 9 (Gautr 16 and 17) are then introduced with the words Svá segir Starkaðr ‘So says Starkaðr’.
