> Thanks for your comments. I guess at this stage we need an Icelander to tell us the true interpretation of these lines about the horses - were they unused to being ridden or not used to running away! Sometimes language is not entirely logical and you have to rely on intuition to get the real meaning... maybe Haukur could help us here.Your questions may change, but by the gods, my answer will stay the same :)
> As for the form skjörr (sorry, my computer won´t do an o with a squiggle underneath)... given that the masculine form is skjarr, I guess you would expect skjör for the fem sing and neut plur, hmmm. Any insights here, please Haukur or anyone else?Like 'kyrr', 'skjarr' has two r's in its root. This is indeed not obvious.
