notes
[7-8] nú eru sex tigir seyðisheita ‘now sixty fire-names are [enumerated]’: This ending of the þula is likely to have been added by a later compiler or scribe, who revised the original text in an attempt to produce regular eight-line stanzas and provided what was perceived to be lines that were missing (see Notes to st. 1/1-4; cf. also Note to Þul Øxna 1/1-2 and Gurevich 2008, 359). The lines must have been included in the ms. of SnE available to Resen’s compiler, however, because RE 1665 lists the fire-heiti ‘Seidir’, which must be a corrupt form of the word seyðis- ‘fire-’ (nom. seyðir) in the present þula.
