Chapter II: Thor and ūtgarðaloki

l. 1. *fōr með hafra sīna...ok með honum sā, āss er...* We see here that _með_ generally takes an acc. to denote passive, and a dat. to denote voluntary accompaniment.

l. 5. *soðit* refers to some such subst. as _slātr_ (meat) understood.

l. 12. *til męrgjar.* _til_ here implies intention--to get at the marrow.

l. 21. The second *hann* refers, of course, to Thor.

l. 34. *til myrkrs*, till it was dark.

l. 36. *þeir*, the masc. instead of the neut. pl., as in l. 32 *foll.*, showing that _leituðu_ is meant to refer only to the men of the party, and not to include Rǫskva. (Gr. § 179.)

l. 88. *sjā sik*, see himself alive.

l. 104. *þann* = _þann veg_, that way, course.

l. 108. *at æsirnir bæði þā heila hittask*. The full sense is, 'that Thor and Loki expressed a wish that they and Skrȳmir might meet again safe and sound.'

ll. 111, 112. *sęttu hnakkann ā bak sēr aptr*, threw back the backs of their heads till they touched their backs, i.e. threw back their heads.

l. 118. *œrit stōra*, 'rather big,' i.e. very big.

l. 120. *glotti um tǫnn*, 'grinned round a tooth,' i.e. showed his teeth in a malicious grin. Two MSS. read _við_ instead of _um_.
