Note to Ormarr Lv 2VIII (Heiðr 103)

[4] heiðr Myrkviðar ‘Myrkviðr’s heath’: Ms. 203ˣ’s original reading was Myrkheiðar heiðr ‘Myrkheiðr’s heath’; the correction is in another hand. R715ˣ reads just ‘Mirk heiðr’, which NK follows, but if it is a p. n. it is not otherwise known or mentioned elsewhere (cf. Jón Helgason 1967, 234). Heiðr 1672 emends to Mork oc heidar ‘borderland and heath’.
