This implies that it actually occurs as <aldafo,ðr>; I don't
believe that this is the case. I'm not actually aware even
of an instance of <allfo,ðr>, with <all->, and de Vries says
that it occurs only as <al->. I'm certainly willing to
believe that there are actually a few exceptions, but it
would seem that they *are* exceptions.
