[5] kýmiliga ‘amusingly’: Bugge, Skj B, Falk, Björn M. Ólsen, Skald and Fidjestøl all emend to kynliga ‘strangely’, occurring in 1441ˣ, 10575ˣ and one other ms., but 166bˣ’s reading is overwhelmingly attested across the tradition. Njörður Njarðvik (1991, 94), adopting kýmiliga, cites a striking parallel in the Visio Thurkilli where a proud man is made to parade in a theatre for the amusement of devils; while he is strutting his clothes suddenly catch fire (Schmidt 1978, 20-1).
