Beatrice La Farge (ed.) 2017, ‘Gríms saga loðinkinna 2 (Feima Hrímnisdóttir, Lausavísa 1)’ in Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.), Poetry in fornaldarsögur. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 8. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 290.
text and translation
Feima ek heiti; fædd var ek norðarla,
Hrímnis dóttir ór háfjalli.
Hér er systir mín hálfu fremri
Kleima at nafni komin til sjóvar.
Ek heiti Feima; ek var fædd norðarla, dóttir Hrímnis, ór háfjalli. Hér er systir mín, hálfu fremri, Kleima at nafni, komin til sjóvar.
‘I am called Feima; I was born in northern parts, daughter of Hrímnir <giant>, from the high mountain. Here my sister, twice as courageous, Kleima by name, has come to the sea-shore. ’
notes and context
In the saga this stanza follows GrL 1 and is introduced by the words: Sú kvað vísu, er nær honum stóð ‘The one [i.e. the giantess] who stood near him spoke a stanza’.
[1-2]: With the exception of the name Feima these lines are identical in wording to Ket 17/1-2, in which the troll-woman Forað identifies herself (in a similar episode) in answer to a question put to her by Grímr’s father Ketill.
