notes

[1-2] enn eru eptir heiti jǫtna ‘still there are names of giants to come’: As is shown by the use of capital letters in mss A and B, these lines belong to the preceding stanza, i.e. Þul Jǫtna I 6/6-8 (see Note there). Thus, in A and B, this stanza has the same regular eight-line structure as the other stanzas in the merged þula of giants’ names.
