Note to Anon (FoGT) 17III

[3] víða ‘in many places’: Here construed as an adv. ‘in many places, widely’. So also SnE 1848-87 and FoGT 1884. Kock (Skald and NN §2355) emends to víðum ‘wide, broad’ (adj. m. dat. sg.) to agree with vingameiði ‘windswept tree’ (l. 3), while Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) and Longo (FoGT 2004) emend to víðu (adj. n. dat. sg.) to agree with torgi ‘market place’ (l. 4). Neither emendation is necessary to make sense of the helmingr.
