Anon (HSig) 7II/2 — kyn ‘kind’

Stór taka fjǫll at f*alla;
ferr sótt of kyn dróttar;
eyðisk friðr, en fœðisk
fjandhugr meðal landa.
Vesa munk yðr, sem ǫðrum,
angrljóðasǫm, þjóðum
— ylgr nemr suðr at svelgja
sveita — Urðr of heitin;
sveita Urðr of heitin.

Stór fjǫll taka at f*alla; sótt ferr of kyn dróttar; friðr eyðisk, en fjandhugr fœðisk meðal landa. Munk yðr, sem ǫðrum þjóðum, vesa of heitin angrljóðasǫm Urðr; ylgr nemr at svelgja sveita suðr; Urðr sveita of heitin.

Large mountains begin to fall; pestilence spreads throughout mankind; peace is destroyed, and enmity is born between nations. To you, as to other people, I shall be known as the Urðr <norn> filled with sorrowful songs; the she-wolf begins to swallow blood in the south; be known as the Urðr <norn> of blood.
