We should also consider the possibility of dropping the poem. Certainly, we ought to do so if none of the proposed revisions is satisfactory to everyone. But also, there is the question of whether we are justified by our principles in making the kinds of revisions needed.

Agreed. Even if we find some solution that is to our liking, can our version stand in a direct comparison with the original? The more I think about this, the more I like the idea of the original poem given in the Appendix with some commentary.

Alas, it appears that if we were to agree to an emendation of the poem it would appear that we have taken to many
liberties in it. As much as I would like to keep the
Horns of Ylmir in our main narrative, it seems that at least for now, it must be dropped from it.
