Sturl Hákkv 21II/6 — fylkis ‘of the leader’s’

Ok þar felt
feigum hausi
Gjallar mans
greypri hendi
Fenris nipt
fylkis dólga
í hjörgöll
heiptar blóði.

Ok þar felt nipt Fenris feigum hausi dólga fylkis blóði heiptar greypri hendi mans Gjallar í hjörgöll.

And there Fenrir’s <mythical wolf’s> sister [= Hel] hooded the doomed heads of the leader’s enemies with the blood of hatred by the gruesome hand of Gjǫll’s <river in hell’s> girl [= Hel] in the sword-din [BATTLE].
