Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 19III

[3] vísi (m. nom. sg.) ‘the leader’: Both mss read vísir ‘leader’, declined as a m. ja-stem, but the oblique form vísa in sts 4/4, 33/7, 34/8, 43/8, 74/6, 80/2 shows that the poets must have used the earlier, weak form vísi (see ANG §§371, 401). The normalised form has been adopted passim in the present edn.
