Note to Hróksv Hrkv 1VIII (Hálf 51)

[3] eðli ‘parentage’: The noun eðli has several possible meanings of which ‘parentage’ is one (cf. ONP: eðli 2 ‘origin, descent, extraction’). Other eds (cf. Skj B’s hvorledes vi brødre var i karakter ‘how we brothers were in character’) understand eðli in the sense of ‘nature, (true) character’ (ONP: eðli 3), and this interpretation is also possible.
