Note to FriðÞ Lv 24VIII (Frið 30)

[7-8]: The syntax of these lines is obscure; this edn follows Kock’s proposed interpretation (NN §3194). The word við (l. 8) could be from the noun viðr ‘tree, wood’ or the prep. við(r) ‘against, to, with’, as it is understood here, even though a prep. in first position in a line would not normally bear alliteration.
