Guðbr Frag 2III

móðfjalls verǫld alla.

Inn mikla mǫkk setr upp alla verǫld móðfjalls.

The great cloud rises up over the entire world of the mind-mountain [HEART > BREAST].

readings

[1] setr: dregr A(1r)

notes

[1] setr upp ‘rises up’: Used impersonally with inn mikla mǫkk ‘the great cloud’ as the acc. object. The A variant dregr upp ‘rises up’ is also possible but could have been caused by association with Þjsk Jarl l. 1I Þoku dregr upp ‘Fog rises up’.
