Note to GunnLeif Merl I 64VIII

[2] Káðvaládrus ‘Cadwallader’: Emended in Bret 1848-9 (followed by subsequent eds) from ms. Káðvaladría (not refreshed); the spelling perhaps results from a misunderstanding of this word as a national instead of a pers. n. Bret 1848-9 appears to make Kónan the subject and Káðvaladrús the object, but this, if not simply an artifact of word inversion, deviates unnecessarily from Geoffrey’s text.
