Hávh Lv 1III/2 — arnar ‘an eagle’s’
Nús jódraugum ægis
arnar flaug (ok bauga
hygg, at heimboð þiggi
hangagoðs) of vangi.
Nús flaug arnar of vangi ægis jódraugum; hygg, at þiggi heimboð hangagoðs ok bauga.
Now there is an eagle’s flight above the field for the logs of the steed of the ocean [(lit. ‘ocean’s steed-logs’) SHIP > SEAFARERS]; I believe that they may receive an invitation from the god of the hanged [= Óðinn] and rings.
notes
[1, 2, 4] nús flaug arnar of vangi ‘now there is an eagle’s flight above the field’: The sense here is that eagles are soaring above the field in anticipation of battle.
