‘The king’s son will resemble a lynx; it will wish to destroy its own people. And for those reasons Neustria will be stripped of the rich land of both the Irish and the English and deprived of honours.
[1] gaupu: gaupa Hb
[1] gaupu ‘a lynx’: Emended in Skj B, followed by subsequent eds, from ms. gaupa (not refreshed), the nom. form. Bret 1848-9 retains gaupa without explanation, but the oblique form is required.
