Note to Eil Þdr 16III

[6] tangar ‘of tongs’: The mss’ ‘tongv’ (R), ‘tungu’ () and ‘tǫngv’ (W) have been emended to tangar f. gen. sg. both because of the required aðalhending with angr- and because tǫngu cannot be an inflected form of tǫng, a f. ō-stem (cf. ANG §375, although ONP: tǫng lists one C14th attestation of tǫngu).
