gollbúit ‘a gold-adorned’
(not checked:)
gullbúinn (adj./verb p.p.): [a gold-adorned]
[4] gollbúit: so Tˣ, U, A, B, gollbúinn R, gollbúin C
notes
[4] gollbúit (n. acc. sg.) ‘a gold-adorned’: The R reading gollbúinn m. nom. sg. ‘gold-adorned’ can only qualify niðr m. nom. sg. ‘descendant’, which is unlikely. Gollbúin n. acc. pl. (so C) provides the reading gollbúin vôpn ‘gold-adorned weapons’. For weapons decorated with gold, see ESk Øxfl and Introduction to that poem.
