Note to Gestumbl Heiðr 35VIII (Heiðr 82)

[4] viðar ‘of a tree’: Ms. 2845 has ‘u’ with a superscript ‘i’ above (followed by ‘d’ and the ‑ar abbreviation (superscript ‘r’)). Most eds expand to virðar, but this is the standard abbreviation for við (‘uid’) and it seems likely that this is what the scribe intended, doubling up on the consonant in error and/or for something to attach the second abbreviation sign to.
