[1] einn sonr, sá er ek átta ‘one son of mine’: Lit. ‘one son, whom I had’. All eds apart from those of CPB, Rafn (FSN), and Örnólfur Thorsson (Ragn 1985), supply by normalisation the rel. particle es, er in one form or another (sá es, sá er, sá’s, sá’r), where ms. 1824b has only sá. The loss of the relative particle er is a feature of C14th Old Norse, cf. NS §261; see also SkP VII, lxvii.
