Eeep. I guess I should pay more attention to the story!
Thanks for your help, Brian!

Stolen *by* Dúkú; 'stolen from' would be <stolit frá>.

I believe that you're thinking of <hversu>. <Hverjum> is
the dative of <hverr> 'who', so it's 'And on whom will you
avenge your father'. <Hefna> takes the genitive for the
thing or person for which/whom vengeance is taken, and the
dative for the person on whom it's taken.
> Saman fengum vit eyða þá Seið-dróttin, ...

I don't see any way to make sense of <þá> as the accusative
plural of the demonstrative pronoun: <Seið-Dróttin> is
definitely a masculine accusative singular. Either it's
'then', or it's an error for <þann>.
