[3] véltu ‘they defrauded’: The mss are divided on whether the verb is véltu from véla ‘to defraud, betray’ or viltu from villa ‘to lead astray, falsify, wilfully destroy’. In the last sense viltu would fit the present context, and is chosen by some eds (e.g. Skj B); véltu is the choice of Björn M. Ólsen, Skald, Fidjestøl and Njörður Njarðvík.
