9. _Thunder is the red drum._ Probably _reya_ ('red') is a printer's error for _reia_ ('angry'), though the same form occurs also in the version of the ballad published in the _Antiquarisk TÌdsskrift_. In v. 16, however, we find _skari_ whereas in v. 17 the word is written _skari_, the form used in both verses in _Antiq. TÌdss._, and the two words are obviously identical in both verses. Moreover in v. 21 _einir_ ('own,' 'single') which gives little sense, is surely an error for _eingir_ ('no,' adj.) as in vv. 11, 17, 19. The negative is also found in v. 21 in the version in the _Antiq. TÌdss._, in the form _ei_, 'they have _not_ fathers or mothers.' Indeed the entire ballad would seem to be somewhat carelessly printed in _FÊrˆiske KvÊer_. HILDINA 5. _St Magnus_, Earl of Orkney, 1108 to 1116. A cathedral was built at Kirkwall in his honour by one of his successors, Earl Ronald. EDITIONS OF TEXTS USED FOR TRANSLATIONS PART I _Fornaldar Sˆgur Norrlanda_, ed. by C. C.
