readings

[1] Vargr: ‘[…]argr’ C, Ylgr A, ‘[…]lfr’ B, Ulfr 744ˣ

notes

[1] vargr, ulfr, Geri ‘wolf, he-wolf, Geri’: In mss A and B this line is given as Ylgr, vargr, vitnir (A) and Ulfr, vargr, vitnir (B) respectively. The heiti ylgr ‘she-wolf’ (so A) does not belong in this stanza, however, because m. and f. heiti in this þula are listed separately (see ylgr in st. 2/2 and Introduction above).
