Note to Eil Þdr 18III

[5-6] ós eisa ‘the sparking fire’: The mss’ eisu (R, ; esju W) has been emended to eisa nom. because it is the subject of the sentence (Finnur Jónsson 1900b, 396). The adj. óss is not attested in Old Norse, but New Norw. os means ‘crackling, sparking’ (Aasen 2003: os adj. 1.).
