What happens
The endnotes provide a transcriber's note regarding an uncorrected error in the text, where the third element is listed as 'Sarfalddavas' in one instance and 'tirfalddavas' in another. The transcriber speculates on the correct form, considering consistency with other names and the possibility that a character misspoke in excitement.
Key passages

A textual inconsistency exists where the third element appears as 'Sarfalddavas' in one place and 'tirfalddavas' in another.

“The capitalized one would be consistent with the other names, and the “Sar—” implies a relationship with the first element, which is in the same group. Or maybe the character misspoke, in her excitement?”
The capitalized version aligns with naming patterns and suggests a connection to the first element, though the character may have misspoken due to excitement.
