Note to SnSt Ht 28III

[6] fǫl (n. acc. pl.) ‘pale’: This adj. can also be the n. acc. pl. of falr ‘marketable, available’, but the meaning ‘pale’ has been adopted here in keeping with in bleika súð ‘the pale ship’ in st. 27/2 above. Hákon must have offered the ships to Snorri, but the ship on which he sailed back to Iceland in 1220 he had received from Skúli (Stu 1878, I, 244).
