Note to stanza

2. 37. Sigvatr Þórðarson (biog. vol. 1), Bersǫglisvísur, 1 [Vol. 2, 12-14]

[8] fundra ‘ponder’: Skj B retains the Kˣ reading fundar (m. gen. sg.) ‘meeting’ (so also ÍF 28). However, fundra is the form warranted by the ms. witnesses, and it is easy to see how this lectio difficilior could have been replaced by the familiar fundar. Kock was the first to adopt the variant fundra (NN §2260), which he connected with Swed., Norw., Icel. dialects fundra ‘lurk, lie in wait for’, OSwed. funda ‘ruminate’ (see AEW: fundra). That meaning is corroborated by the prose context (see Context above).
