The poetic Edda

Note 2 — Guthrun’s Inciting

Henry Adams Bellows translation

Idle: a guess; a word is obviously missing in the original. The manuscript marks line 5 as beginning a new stanza, and lines 5–6 may well have been inserted from another part of the “old” Hamthesmol (cf. Hamthesmol, 3).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
