[7] sval*fúr ‘the cool fire’: Both mss have svall fyr ‘increased before’. However, skjaldar (m. gen. sg.) ‘of the shield’ needs a base-word, and Kock’s suggestion (NN §2085) svalfúr ‘cool fire’ has been adopted in Hl 1941 and in the present edn. Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) emends to snjallr (m. nom. sg.) ‘brave’ and fúr (m. acc. sg.) ‘fire’, and takes snjallr as an adj. qualifying his kenning stillir Egða ‘lord of the Egðir’.
