[3] fullfeikn: so 2845, fláráð Hb, R715ˣ
notes
[3] fullfeikn ‘destructive’: Mss Hb and R715ˣ read fláráð ‘deceitful, false’, but it is difficult to see why Angantýr should consider Hervǫr so. Fullfeikn also provides a verbal echo with full feiknstafa ‘full of curses’ in Heiðr 29/3. Fláráð is preferred in Heiðr 1873, 221 and Edd. Min., however, while the eds of CPB (CPB I, 167) emend to fáráð and translate ‘foolish’. Skj B and Skald print fullfeikn, as here.

[5-8]: Missing from Hb through damage to the fol. The text is supplied from the other mss and repeats ll. 5-8 of Angantýr Lv 4 (Heiðr 34) (see Note). The fact that the final word of the stanza is present in Hb and reads skal ‘shall, must’ (1st/3rd pers. sg. pres.) suggests that these lines were not the original ending to the stanza.
