Þar í mǫrk fyrir markar
málhvettan byr settu
(né hvélvǫlur Hallar
háfs) skotnaðra (svôfu).
Knátti, hreggi hǫggvin*,
hlymþél við mǫl glymja,
en fellihryn fjalla
Feðju þaut með steðja.
Þar settu {skotnaðra} í {mǫrk háfs} fyrir {málhvettan byr markar}; né svôfu {hvélvǫlur Hallar}. {Hlymþél} knátti glymja við mǫl, en {hreggi hǫggvin* fellihryn fjalla} þaut með {steðja Feðju}.
‘There they set shot-adders [SPEARS] in the borderland of the fish trap [RIVER] against the chattering wind of the borderland [RIVER]; the wheel-knuckles of Hǫll <river> [STONES] did not sleep. The din-file [SPEAR] resounded against the gravel, and the storm-blasted toppling-noise of the mountains [RIVER] roared against the anvil of Fedje <river> [ROCK]. ’
