Note to GunnLeif Merl II 18VIII

[7] Vintóna ‘Winchester’: This is the reading of the ms. (not refreshed). It would be tempting to emend to Vintónía, by analogy with II 5/2 and forms in Geoffrey’s text, as is done in Merl 2012, but such a form would produce an unmetrical line and there are parallels elsewhere for Gunnlaugr’s use of variant forms, e.g. Kónan (I 64/1) vs. Kónánus (gen.) (I 72/2).
