Ív Sig 27II/2 — norðr ‘north’

Þat vas it næsta        norðr í Vôgum
vápnaskipti,        es Vilhjalmr fell.

Þat vas it næsta vápnaskipti norðr í Vôgum, es Vilhjalmr fell.

That was the next weapon-exchange north in Vågan, when Vilhjálmr fell.

notes

[2] norðr í Vôgum ‘north in Vågan’: According to the prose, Vilhjálmr was killed in Vik (Víkar) on Sømna in Helgeland, which is in keeping with the Hkr version of the event (ÍF 28, 312). The poem probably originally read norðr í Víkum ‘north in Vik’ and a scribe at some point repeated the p. n. Vgum from st. 26/8. See Andersson and Gade 2000, 52.
