[3] alltíginn ‘most high-born’: Etymologically, the vowel of the second syllable should be short, though in ModIcel. -tiginn and -tíginn are indistinguishable (both with tense, long vowels). But despite the arguments of Konráð Gíslason (1892, 170-1), the metre demands a long vowel here (see Sievers 1893, §61.4).
