Hi, and many thanks!

1 My main question concerns búð: it seem to be used both for the shop and for the place where Sigurðr & Hárekr are staying, the latter also being referred to as a tent…. were all búðir just tents then? Maybe buyers and sellers stayed basically in the same accommodation?

2 er harðla vel var um búizt….. I don't really understand this, something about there being a good selection?

3 Hann kvað ok gott val mundu á vera. He said and a good choice would be…. Sorry, don't get this either.

4 við svo búit - I think I understand this bit, but what exactly is the force of the við, please?

5 Nú fær hann honum silfrit út í gegnum tjaldskarirnar.
I have a vague idea here, but can't quite picture his exact physical position "í gegnum tjaldskarirnar".

Best wishes,

Simon
