‘And the hungry father of Mǫrn <giantess> [= Þjazi] then ate horribly the yoke-bear [OX] from the oak-roots – that was long ago –, before the deep-minded retaining god of plunder [= Loki] could strike the very bold enemy of the earth [GIANT = Þjazi] with a pole from above between the shoulders.’
notes and context
As for st. 1.
According to the prose narrative in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 1), Loki became very angry when Þjazi devoured so much of the ox, and snatched up a long pole, driving it with all his strength at the body of the giant in eagle form.
