Note to SnSt Ht 43III

[7, 8] fjǫlvinjat alinveldi ‘the many-meadowed elbow-realm [HAND]’: This is the hand with many fingers (‘meadows’) on which to put golden rings. Fjǫlvinjat has been altered in R to fjǫlvinjaðr (R*) which gives the reading fjǫlvinjaðr falr meldr Fenju ‘the many-meadowed marketable flour of Fenja’, i.e. ‘the marketable gold which rests on many meadows (has many recipients)’ (adopted in SnE 1848-87 and Skj B).
