Note to Sigv Ást 1I

[7] Ástríðr: The ms. spellings generally point to the form Ástríð, and it is conceivable that they preserve the OEN form of this name, which is attested without the ‑r ending in runic inscriptions from the C11th (Peterson 1981, 56-8, 66). Ms. E has ‘astri’, and papp18x (not used here as it is an inferior copy of K) has Ástríðr, presumably influenced by the Icel. form of the name.
