Note to Þul Dverga 5III

[4] Tigvi: So Skj B and Skald. Or Tigvæ(?) (Gould 1929, 954). The metre requires a long-stemmed disyllabic form. This is a hap. leg. of unclear form and origin. The mss have the following variants: ‘tigvæ’ (A), ‘tiurgr’ (B, but the word is difficult to read), ‘tiurgr’ (744ˣ), Tigur (papp10ˣ, 2368ˣ, 743ˣ).
