text and translation
Heiðingja sleit hungri;
hárr gylðir naut sára;
granar rauð gramr á Fenri;
gekk ulfr í ben drekka.
Sleit hungri heiðingja; hárr gylðir naut sára; gramr rauð granar á Fenri; ulfr gekk drekka í ben.
‘The heath-dweller’s <wolf’s> hunger was brought to an end; the grey howler <wolf> enjoyed wounds; the ruler reddened the whiskers on Fenrir <wolf>; the wolf went to drink from wounds. ’
notes and context
In Skm and LaufE the helmingr is given as an illustration of heiti for ‘wolf’.
The half-stanza is composed in the dróttkvætt variant áttmælt ‘eight-times spoken’, in which each line forms an independent clause (cf. SnSt Ht 10).
