Note to Svart Skauf 42VIII

[6] meinþurðar ‘[for] the entertainment’: Lit. ‘[for] harm-decrease’. The ms. reading, mannþurðar ‘man-decrease’, makes no sense in the context. The emendation was first suggested by Jón Þorkelsson (1888, 219 n. 3) and adopted by Jón Þorkelsson (1922-7) and Páll Eggert Ólason (1947).
