Excuse me Alan I believe you have the right of it, - of course that is only because your assumption does so agree with my one - therefore I recognize what is "right" in your translation.
I do not believe you miss much at all

Am I missing something here? The discussion seems to be suggesting that í æði sínuis translated as in his frenzy = climax/orgasm, based on the feminine noun æði But surely the noun is the neuter noun æði (note the neut dat sg pronoun sínu) which Zoega gives the meaning nature, disposition, mind. Note also that sem aðrir menn can mean like other human beings, ie not necessarily males. Taken together, I took this mean that Hrút having briefly become some kind of supernatural monster with a gigantic (and therefore somewhat ineffective) phallus simply resumed normal human characteristics and form.
