Forað Lv 6VIII (Ket 27)/2 — ek ‘I’

Flaug ok Fífu         hugða ek fjarri vera,
        ok hræðumz ek ei Hremsu bit.

Ek hugða Flaug ok Fífu vera fjarri, ok hræðumz ek ei bit Hremsu.

I thought Flaug and Fífa were far away, and I do not fear Hremsa’s bite.

[2] ek: ek þér 471

notes

[2] ek hugða ‘I thought’: Since the verb hræðumz (m. v.) in l. 3 is a pres. form Kock (NN §2391) prefers the reading hyg (= hygg), the 1st pers. pres. sg. of hyggja found in 471, given as hykk in Skald, to the pret. form hugða (so 343a; cf. CPB II, 558). Ms. 340ˣ gives the pret. form in both cases (cf. the text adopted in Edd. Min. and FSN).
