Andri er ek mýgi* upp með vágsbotni;
kom ek at dals dreyra.
Er ek mýgi* andri upp með vágsbotni; ek kom at dreyra dals.
As I press down the ski up along the end of the bay; I came to the gore of the valley [WATER].
[3] dreyra ‘the gore’: This long-stemmed disyllabic noun violates the metre of ljóðaháttr, which requires either a monosyllable or a short-stemmed disyllabic word in line-final position. That metrical irregularity may indicate that the fragment is late.
case: dat.
