Ormr Woman 6III/3 — fastan ‘my steadfast’

Hróðrar njóti funa Fríðr
— Fundins mærða*k salar grund —
(fastan lagðak flagðs gust)
fjarðar (á brims garð).

Fríðr funa fjarðar njóti hróðrar; mærða*k grund salar Fundins; lagðak fastan gust flagðs á garð brims.

May the Fríðr <goddess> of the fire of the fjord [GOLD > WOMAN] enjoy my praise; I honoured the land of the hall of Fundinn <dwarf> [STONE > WOMAN]; I set my steadfast gust of the troll-woman [MIND] on the fence of the surf [WAVE].
