If snarpa (m. acc. pl.) ‘keen’ (so Mork, H, Hr) were retained, the adj. would qualify fyrða (m. acc. or gen. pl.) ‘warriors’: sverð bitu snarpa fyrða slætt ‘swords bit keen warriors bluntly’. That reading seems less preferable since the insurgents were not killed, but captured. None of the prose sources mentions explicitly that there was fighting between the two factions.
