Note to Anon Krm 18VIII
[4] niðja Endils ‘kinsmen of Endill <sea-king> [SEAFARERS]’: The emendation to niðja, acc. pl. of niðr ‘kinsman, descendant’, is necessary here (see ANG §§367-8) and adopted by all previous eds other than Rafn (1826), CPB and Krm 1891. Endils is gen. sg. of Endill, a sea-king name (see Þul Sækonunga 2/2III and Note there; Björn Sigfússon 1934, 128-9).
