Note to Þul Skjaldar 1III

[7] víðbleiknir (m.) ‘wide-pale one’: A cpd not attested elsewhere, whose first element is the adj. víðr ‘wide’. The second element is probably derived from the adj. bleikr ‘pale’ with the suffix ‑nir. According to Falk (1914b, 148), the correct form is víðbliknir (from the weak verb blika ‘gleam’) ‘wide-shiner’, but that reading is not supported by the ms. witnesses.
