Note to Anon Krm 5VIII

[6] in frægri ‘more famous’: The present ed. follows all previous eds apart from Krm 1891 in taking in (spelt enn by Rafn 1826, , and Wisén 1886-9) as an intensive adv. preceding the comp. frægri ‘more famous’ and meaning ‘still, even’, though hardly translatable in the present instance. Krm 1891 reads it as the nom. sg. m. form of the suffixed def. article, linking it to the m. noun preceding it: jarlinn ‘the jarl’.
