text and translation
Inn gakktu, seggr, í sal hávan;
bið mér Angantý* andspjöll bera!
Gakktu inn, seggr, í hávan sal; bið Angantý* bera mér andspjöll!
‘Go in, man, into the high hall; bid Angantýr bring me answers! ’
notes and context
Ms. R715ˣ, which omits Heiðr 90a, appends another helmingr after this one, presumably to produce an eight-line stanza: andspjöll ljá | orða tveggja | tveggja eðr þriggja | ef hann til vil ‘to grant me answers of two words, of two or three, if he wishes to’. — [2]: Echoes l. 2 of the previous helmingr. — [4]: The half-line also occurs in Guðr I 12/6. Skj B and Skald prefer léa ‘grant’ to bera ‘bring’, from R715ˣ’s reading (via Heiðr 1672).
