notes
[4] at vôrum þar ‘because we were there’: At is taken here, following Kock (NN §770), as a correlative motivated by the comp. at fleiri in l. 3. As Kock observes, at cannot be the adv. ‘present, there’, as suggested by other eds (Skj B; SnE 1998), because it cannot carry stress in this position in the line. For the conjunction at in the sense ‘because’, see NS §265 Anm. 1a.
