[8] elri: elrir B
[8] elri (n.) ‘alder’: So ms. A, where the word is morphologically a collective noun, while ms. B and the LaufE mss have elrir (m.). The latter is used as a base-word in man-kennings, where n. names for trees would be irregular. In kennings for ‘fire’, elris occurs as a determinant in the gen., which could be the gen. of both elri and elrir (e.g. Sturl Hákkv 7/7II elris gram ‘dog of the alder [FIRE]’).
