Note to Hharð Gamv 2II

[1] víða ‘broad’: Taken here as an adj. (f. acc. sg.) qualifying Sikiley (‘broad Sicily’), but it could also be the adv. víða ‘far and wide’. Kock emends to víði ‘ocean’ (m. acc. sg.), which he regards as an object of the verb sneið ‘sliced’ (see NN §2266), which is usually transitive. That emendation is unnecessary if we assume a suppressed object (‘the sea’).
