[2] hundmörgum ‘a great many’: Örnólfur Thorsson (Ragn 1985) treats the two-word reading of the ms. (hodd mörgum) as a cpd word hoddmörgum. This reading attributes to hodd ‘hoard, treasure’ the same meaning as hund-, though there is no support in the poetic corpus for such a sense. All other eds emend to hundmörgum, i.e. dat. pl. of hundmargr ‘very many’, a word which is well attested elsewhere in poetry (LP: hundmargr), and which, with its first element hund-, probably related to hundrað ‘hundred’ (ÍO: 1 hund-; cf. CVC: hundrað), is certainly appropriate in the context. This element provides the line with aðalhending.
