Note 60 — INTRODUCTION

In a letter to the writer Professor Meyer expresses the belief that the use of gh in the Irish proper names is an invention by the author. The combination of c and h is also used in certain other proper names, the system varying in the different manuscripts. For a discussion of the writing of proper names in the chief manuscript, see the American Facsimile Edition of the Konungs Skuggsjá (edited by G. T. Flom), xxxvii-xxxix.
