Note to Ormarr Lv 2VIII (Heiðr 103)

[3-4]: To restore alliteration Skj B, Skald, Heiðr 1960 and Edd. Min. all add in mæra ‘the renowned’ after öll, Edd. Min. placing öll in square brackets. There is no ms. support for this emendation here, but cf. Heiðr 94/1-2 hrís þat it mæra, | er Myrkviðr heitir ‘that renowned forest, which is called Myrkviðr’ (and see Note there). ÍF Edd. takes Sviðin er ǫll Myrkheiðr (see following Note) to be l. 3, assuming another l. 4 to be lost.
