Note to Stúfr Stúfdr 8II

[6] eru sœm of dœmi þess ‘there are fitting proofs of that’: So Hr, which offers the best reading. Ef eru sœm dœmi þess ‘if there are fitting proofs of that’ (so Mork, H) makes little sense. That also holds true for the FskAˣ variant (ef væri sœm dœmi þess ‘if there were fitting proofs of that’), which, in addition, is hypermetrical. The Flat variant must represent an attempt to restore the meaning (en eru sœm dœmi þess ‘and there are fitting proofs of that’).
