Ok gangs vanir gingu
gunnvargs himintǫrgu
fríðrar vers; til fljóða
frumseyris kom dreyra,
þás bǫlkveitir brjóta
bragðmildr Loka vildi
bræði vændr á brúði
bág Sefgrímnis mága.
Ok vanir gangs gingu {vers {gunnvargs {fríðrar himintǫrgu}}}; kom til {dreyra {frumseyris fljóða}}, þás {bragðmildr, bræði vændr bǫlkveitir Loka} vildi brjóta bág á {brúði {mága Sefgrímnis}}.
‘And the ones accustomed to walking went to the sea of the battle-wolf of the splendid sky-shield [SUN > = Fenrir > MOUNTAINS]; [he] came to the blood of the foremost harasser of women [GIANT > RIVER], when the action-liberal, rage-familiar misfortune-destroyer of Loki [= Þórr] wanted to open hostilities on the bride of the in-laws of Sefgrímnir <giant> [GIANTS > GIANTESS]. ’
