Anon Sól 24VII/2 — inn ‘The’
Sál hans bað inn sanni guð
í sinn fögnuð fara;
en sökudólgar hygg ek síðla myni
kallaðir frá kvölum.
Inn sanni guð bað sál hans fara í fögnuð sinn; en ek hygg sökudólgar myni síðla kallaðir frá kvölum.
The true God commanded his soul to journey into his joy; but I think that his enemies will be summoned late from torments.

grammar
Pronouns and determiners: Definite article
The definite article is normally suffixed to nouns, except in some cases where it is used with an adjective. If the noun form ends in a vowel, the 'i' in the article is dropped. If the noun form ends in 'um', the 'm' and 'i' are both dropped. E.g. hesta (acc. pl.) > hestana (acc. pl. definite); hestum (dat. pl.) > hestunum (dat. pl. definite)
