[3] leiptr: om. C, ‘[…]eíptr’ B, leiptr 744ˣ
[3] leiptr, hrjóðr ‘lightning, coverer’: As heiti for ‘sun’ these words are found only in this stanza, but the same pair appears among heiti for ‘heaven’ in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 85) and in Þul Himins II l. 7 (see Note there). Hrjóðr is also the name of one of the nine heavens in Þul Himins I l. 13 and in Þul Himins II l. 6. It is possible that hrjóðr has been included in the present stanza owing to confusion of the two lists of heiti (see also Notes to ll. 6-7 below). For leiptr, see Note to l. 5 below.
