Note to Ótt Knútdr 6I

[3] dauðra ‘dead’: The emendation to a gen. pl. adj. modifying Norðimbra ‘Northumbrians’ is proposed by Kock (NN §736) and followed in ÍF 35; otherwise dauða must be taken as acc. pl. modifying Engla, and such syntax seems out of keeping with Óttarr’s ‘couplet’ style in this poem.
