[1] varra ‘of the waters’: The emendation is needed because vǫrru (so all mss) can only be an oblique sg. of a f. noun *varra, which is not found elsewhere. Sveinbjörn Egilsson (1851, 29) lists it in LP (1860): varra as ‘sea’, Lat. mare, based on its appearance in this stanza. Finnur Jónsson (1900b, 381) rightly rejected this and suggested that varra here is the gen. pl. of vǫrr ‘wake, backwash’.
