[8] sygnskar ‘of Sogn’: The ms. spelling of this word (‘sijnscar’ papp25ˣ; ‘Synscar’ R683ˣ) must have resulted from the loss of medial [g] in Rugman’s exemplar (see Note to st. 69/5). Sogn is a district in western Norway. Sveinbjörn Egilsson (SnE 1848, 246) retains the R683ˣ reading (normalised as synskar), which he takes as a variant form of sœnskar ‘Swedish’. That ethnic adj. makes no sense in the context, however (see st. 72 below).
