[5] ferðir (f. nom. pl.) ‘troops’: The Mork and H variant herðir (m. nom. sg.) ‘strengthener’ is syntactically impossible because the verb (fellu ‘fell’ (l. 6)) is in the pl. Skj B emends to herjar (m. nom. pl.) ‘warriors’ and Skald to herðar (f. nom. pl.) ‘shoulders’ (see NN §2533). Because Skj A did not use F, neither Finnur nor Kock was aware of the above variants.
