[2] f…a: The 399a-bˣ transcriber was certain of ‘f…a’, and this is the basis of Sveinbjörn Egilsson’s suggested reconstruction, made in a marginal n. to 444ˣ, to fróðasta ‘most wise’, f. nom. sg. agreeing with móðir. This reconstruction is adopted by Rydberg, Skj (which ascribes it to Rydberg) and Kock.
