Vaki þú, Angantýr; vekr þik Hervör,
eingadóttir ykkr Sváfu.
Selðu mér ór haugi hvassan mæki,
þann er Svafrlama slógu dvergar.
Vaki þú, Angantýr; Hervör vekr þik, eingadóttir ykkr Sváfu. Selðu mér ór haugi hvassan mæki, þann er dvergar slógu Svafrlama.
Waken, Angantýr; Hervǫr wakes you, only daughter to you and Sváfa. Give me from the mound the sharp sword which dwarfs forged for Svafrlami.
[4] Sváfu: so 2845, R715ˣ, Tófu Hb
[4] Sváfu ‘Sváfa’: Hervǫr’s mother is named as Sváfa in 2845 and R715ˣ, both here and elsewhere in the saga (Heiðr 1924, 8, 96, 102). There is thus stronger evidence for this reading than for Hb’s Tófa: in Hb this stanza is the only place the name Tófa appears for Hervǫr’s mother; she is not mentioned by name elsewhere in the H redaction. The eds of Edd. Min. and CPB (CPB I, 164) however, choose to retain Tófu.
