Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 80III

[6] bǫr ‘the tree’: Bur ‘son’ (so both mss) has been emended to bǫr ‘tree’ in keeping with most earlier eds. Sveinbjörn Egilsson (SnE 1848, 248) emends to bur Skjöldar ‘the son of Skjǫldr’, which makes little sense, because Skjǫldr was the legendary ancestor of the Danish Skjǫldung dynasty.
