notes
[4] listuga (adj., f. or n. acc. sg.) ‘the graceful one’: Skj B and Wrightson treat this as an adj. qualifying víf (n. acc. sg.) ‘lady’. That construction is ungrammatical, because víf ‘lady’ is n., and the adj. ending must be strong (-t; see ljúft ‘gentle’). Listuga is therefore better interpreted as a substantival adj. with a weak ending (see NS § 56, Anm.).
