[3] es * langfeðr ‘which his ancestors’: Lit. ‘which the ancestors’. The Flat reading (‘er hans langfedr’ ‘which his ancestors’) makes the l. hypermetrical. Skj B emends to þats langfeðr (‘that which the ancestors’) and Skald to þats langfeðgar (also ‘that which the ancestors’) which is fornyrðislag rather than kviðuháttr. In both cases the emendation þats ‘that which’ follows from the previous emendation in l. 1.
