Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 63III

[8] gráleituðustum ‘to the very grey-looking’: Hap. leg. An extra syllable has been added to the adj. gráleitr ‘grey-looking’. The ms. spelling of the last part of the cpd (‘-læitadostom’ papp25ˣ; ‘-læitadostom’ R683ˣ) shows Norwegian lack of u-umlaut (see Hl 1941, 108).
