Anon Morg 1III/2 — fljóðs ‘of the woman’

Hefka opt — enn ævi
ák fljóðs lofa góða —
ennileiptr af unnar
eldspǫng degi lǫngum.

Hefka opt ennileiptr af unnar eldspǫng lǫngum degi; enn ák lofa góða ævi fljóðs.

I do not often raise [my] forehead lightning [EYE] from the shard of the fire of the wave [(lit. ‘the fire-shard of the wave’) GOLD > WOMAN] the live-long day; yet I must praise the good life of the woman.
