Sturl Hrafn 9II/3 — sárs ‘of the wound’s’

Gengu geðstrangir
gætis vegmæta
sárs of Sátíri
sunnan logrunnar.
Söddu svartklædda
sóknar dynhróka
bragnar byrgegnir
brands á Skotlandi.

Geðstrangir sárs logrunnar gætis vegmæta gengu sunnan of Sátíri. Bragnar, brands byrgegnir, söddu svartklædda dynhróka sóknar á Skotlandi.

The mind-strong bushes of the wound’s flame [(lit. ‘flame-bushes of the wound’) SWORD > WARRIORS] of the keeper of glorious treasures [KING] went from the south across Kintyre. The men, reliable in the fair wind of the sword [(lit. ‘fair-wind reliable of the sword’) BATTLE], sated black-coated din-cormorants of battle [RAVENS] in Scotland.
