[1, 3, 4] viðir elds hreifa ‘trees of the fire of the hand [GOLD > MEN]’: The nom. pl. produces an apostrophe, presumably to the same listeners as those called sigrviðum (dat. pl.) ‘trees of victory [WARRIORS]’ in st. 1/5. Previous eds have emended, with some support from the variant reading viðr gram, to dat. pl. viðum, which provides an indirect object for þóttu ‘seemed’.
