"Onela!" A woman's voice yelled from outside the thick, heavy wooden door; her voice was tiny and meek, and yet loud and screeching and it made Onela wince, her eyes narrowing a little and her head instinctively twitching to the side.
Onela looked briefly around her room, admiring the cool and soft blues and silvers which decorated the surroundings before she turned to her mother, who was staring at Onela, studying her and for some reason Onela felt like she was on display and nervously reached back to close the door her mother had left open.
Onela had never worn it before, although she had always thought it was a very pretty one, but she rarely got dressed up like that, but her mother seemed insistent now and Onela smiled a little and nodded once, not sure what her mother was up to.

 Conjectures and Conjectural Emendation
This is on the basis that the "real" Signi was the sister and bedmate of Sigismund, and our unnamed wife of Onela is also accused of incest.
The problem is that, if we wish to preserve the alliteration, this forces further emendations to the line, changing (On)ela to "Saevil" or some such.
So here is the situation: We have an obvious error, and an obvious emendation, and no one accepts the obvious emendation, and we see two different alternate conjectures, two other conjectures for the form of the line, two different primitive errors marked, and one editor who refuses to admit that nonsense is nonsense.
