[8] hvít* (f. nom. sg.) ‘white’: The emendation from hvítt (n. nom. sg.) is necessary because the adj. qualifies hlífð (f. nom. sg.) ‘shield’ (l. 6). It could also be that this is an instance where <tt> stands for <t> (see Note to st. 38/5 and Hl 1941, 106), but in this case, in word-final position, that cannot be ascertained.
