[5] réttr ‘straight’: Rekr ‘drives’ (so U and, by correction, R (R*)) is possible syntactically (vindr rekr; váðir bendir ‘the wind drives; the sail is curved’ (if the latter clause is taken as impersonal)), but it fails to provide the antithesis that characterises refhvǫrf. The reading appears to be the result of syntactic simplification.
