Note to SnSt Ht 23III

[6] in rétta (f. nom. sg.) ‘the upright’: This adj. can only qualify hǫll (f. nom. sg.) ‘hall’. If it were replaced by the U variant it rétta (n. nom. sg.) it would qualify ǫl (n. nom. sg.) ‘ale’ (l. 5) (it rétta ǫl ‘the good ale’; so earlier eds except Konráð Gíslason 1895-7).
