Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 5III

[2] heiptbráðr (m. nom. sg.) ‘the wrath-quick one’: In keeping with other eds, heiptbrôð (f. nom. sg. or n. nom./acc. pl.) has been emended to heiptbráðr (m. nom. sg.) as the subject of náði taka ‘was able to take’. The final element of the cpd is written ‘-brad’ (papp25ˣ) and ‘-brád’ (R683ˣ), but final <r> is very frequently omitted in both mss (see Hl 1941, 111-12 and Introduction above).
