Hróksv Hrkv 1VIII (Hálf 51)/8 — yðvarr ‘your’

Nú mun segja         sonr Hámundar,
hvert eðli var         okkart bræðra.
Var minn faðir         miklu fremri,
haukr görr at hug,         en Haki yðvarr.

Sonr Hámundar mun nú segja, hvert eðli okkart bræðra var. Var minn faðir haukr görr at hug, miklu fremri en Haki yðvarr.

Now the son of Hámundr [= Hrókr inn svarti] will tell, what the parentage of us two brothers was. My father was a real hawk in regard to courage, much superior to your Haki.
