[8] mæta (f. acc. sg.) ‘noble’: This adj. is grammatically difficult. Earlier eds connect it with stórlæti ‘generosity’; stórlæti is n., not f., however. Following Konráð Gíslason (1895-7), Faulkes (SnE 2007, 151) does indeed give it as a f. noun, and we would then have to assume an unattested f. in-stem variant. Mæta could also be a weak n. acc. sg., but that is unlikely from a grammatical point of view (see NS §50).
