[3, 4] barna, þaus ‘children, who’: The Flat reading ‘þeir er’ (m. nom. pl.) ‘who’ has been emended to agree with the antecedent’s gender (barna is n. pl.) (so also Skj B and Skald). Barna ‘children’ is, however, in the gen. pl., so n. gen. pl. þeiras might have been expected, but that is unmetrical. For instances in which the case of the demonstrative is governed by the syntax of the rel. cl., see NS §260.
