Plentiful hospitality was initiated for Geri <wolf>, and the son of Sigurðr [= Haraldr] came from the north to entice the wolf from the forest onto the wounds.
[1] Gera ‘for Geri <wolf>’: Geri (probably ‘greedy’) is named, with Freki, as one of Óðinn’s wolves in Grí 19/1 (NK 61), hence the word is a general heiti for ‘wolf’.
