[5] fjaðrir fugla ‘feathers of birds’: Skj B emends to fjaðrir, fuglar ‘feathers, birds’. Kock (NN §§3317, 3318) points out that the ll. of st. 93 end with an alternating abab pattern of noun + attribute (grænar grundir ‘green fields’, fjaðrir fugla ‘feathers of birds’, heiðar stjörnur ‘bright stars’) and nouns joined by a coordinating conj. (duft og sandar ‘dust and sands’, holt og mýrar ‘woods and moors’, hár og korn ‘hair and corn’, dropar og gneistar ‘drops and sparks’). The unnecessary emendation interrupts this pattern.
