Note to KormǪ Sigdr 6III

[7] þvít ‘since’: Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) and all other eds have emended the mss’ þvíat to the n. dat. dem. pron. því. The reason was that the verb fagnar ‘rejoices’ requires a dat. object. Yet, owing to metrical problems (the pron. is too heavy for this metrical position (anacrusis) this edn does not emend to því, but takes kind vægja as the required dat. object of fagnar rejoices’.
