I don't think the central problem, if indeed we
have one, is the the genitive form of the name Heiðr.

Anyone who doesn't know and is actually interested
in knowing can look up the declension of 'heiðr';
here for example:

(It's at the bottom of the page, third declension from the left.
We are fortunate enough that Zoega chose this very word to
exemplify its declension pattern.)
