readings

[1] Fár*: ‘fárr’ A, B

notes

[1] Fár*: The mss have ‘fáʀr’ (A) and ‘farr’ (B; 744ˣ has ‘fare’, which shows that Jón Ólafsson was uncertain about the transcription of the last letter), but the correct reading is most likely Fár ‘shining, coloured’ (so Skj B; Skald; Gould 1929, 946). Cf. Fáinn (ÍO: fár 3) above, as well as the semantically similar names Mjǫklituðr (st. 1/2 above) and Litr (st. 6/2 below). This heiti does not occur elsewhere.
