Skáldskaparmál — chs 1-6 §24.1
Nú skal enn segja dœmi af hverju þær kenningar eru er nú váru ritaðar, er áðr váru eigi dœmi til sǫgð, svá sem Bragi sagði Ægi at ‘Þórr var farinn í Austrvega at berja trǫll, en Óðinn reið Sleipni í Jǫtunheima ok kom til þess jǫtuns er Hrungnir hét. Þá spyrr Hrungnir hvat manna sá er með gullhjálminn er ríðr lopt ok lǫg ok segir at hann á furðu góðan hest. Óðinn sagði at þar vill hann veðja fyrir hǫfði sínu at engi hestr skal vera jafngóðr í . Hrungnir sagði at sá er góðr hestr, en hafa lézk hann mundu myklu stórfetaðra hest; sá heitir Gullfaxi. Hrungnir varð reiðr ok hleypr upp á hest sinn ok hleypir eptir honum ok hyggr at launa honum ofrmæli. Óðinn hleypti svá mikit at hann var á ǫðru leiti fyrir, en Hrungnir var í svá miklum jǫtunmóð at hann fann eigi fyrr en hann sótti inn of Ásgrindr. Ok er hann kom at hallardurum, buðu Æsir honum til drykkju. Hann gekk í hǫllina ok bað fá sér drykkju.

Once you have selected the correct analysis the buttons will be highlighted.
Teaching text: grammar
Here you can test your Old Norse skills by filling out information about the grammatical form of words in the text. A word is chosen at random. You must choose the part of speech first, then the other categories will be enabled as relevant. If the text has not been lemmatised (linked to dictionary headwords) this page won’t function correctly; if it has been lemmatised but not parsed in the database you will only be able to select the part of speech and not the other grammatical information. You will have completed the task when all enabled buttons have been highlighted. Some parts of speech which do not decline/conjugate will not require any further action than selecting the correct part of speech.
The hint will give information about the translation of the word in context which may help to to determine the grammatical information.
