[4] jörmungrundar ‘vast land’: Flat has the reading danskrar grundar ‘the Danish lands’, which is accurate as the fleet was heading to Halland (which was under Dan. rule), but it is clearly a lectio facilior. The prefix jörmun- implies something vast or great and occurs in words such as Jǫrmungandr ‘the Midgard serpent’ (CVC). See also the inscription on the Karlevi stone (Run Öl1/7^VI).
