Note to StarkSt Vík 33VIII (Gautr 41)

[5] hangar tjálgur ‘dangling branches’: On the likely implications of the word tjálgur ‘branches’, see Vík 5/2 (Gautr 13) and Note. The proposed adj. hangar ‘dangling’ (from *hangr ‘hanging down’, not otherwise attested) is an emendation of the ms.’s haugar ‘mounds’ which does not make sense in context. It was first proposed in FSN and has been adopted by all subsequent eds.
