notes
[3] kyn* (n. nom. sg.) ‘descendant, kin’: Kyns (n. gen. sg.; so Flat) has been emended to provide a subject for hefir prýdda ‘has graced’ (ll. 1, 4). Kock (NN §2122) retains the gen. and points to a similar construction in st. 37 above, but the two constructions are not parallel (see Note to st. 37/5). Skj B translates kyn jǫfra as ‘royal family’ (kongeslægt): Den kongeslægt har udmerket Oddemændenes hele slægt ‘That royal family has distinguished the entire family of the men from Oddi’. That interpretation forces the emendation of sás ‘who’ (l. 6) to sá ‘that’ (see below). Kyn can also mean ‘descendant’, however, (see Fritzner: kyn 4), and it is preferable to equate kyn here with dótturson ‘daughter’s son’ (i.e. Jón) (l. 5) (see NN §2122).

notes
[6] sás ‘who’: Skj B emends to sá ‘that’ (see Note to l. 3 above), and takes it with dótturson(r) ‘daughter’s son’ (l. 5) as the subject of a new cl.: sá margnýtr dóttursonr Magnús konungs fremsk optar dǫgum, translated as den udmærkede dattersön af kong Magnus vinder hæder oftere end der er dage ‘the splendid daughter’s son of King Magnús gains glory more often than there are days’. That interpretation entails an unattested placement of the finite verb in an independent cl. (syntactic position 3).
