Chapter I: Thor

Text size

Line 3. *Hann ā þar rīki er Þrūð-vangar heita*, 'he reigns (there) where it is called Þ.,' i.e. in the place which is called Þ. The plur. _heita_ agrees with _þrūðvangar_, as in l. 14 below: _þat eru jārnglōfar_ 'that is (his) iron gloves.'

l. 5. *þat er hūs mest, svā at męnn hafa gǫ̈rt*, 'that is the largest house, so that men have made (it),' i.e. the largest house that has been built. Note the plur. _hūs_ of a single house; each chamber was originally regarded as a house, being often a detached building.

l. 13. *spęnnir þeim*, Gr. § 154; cp. 2. 49.
