Anon (FoGT) 4III/3 — munni ‘the mouth’

Leygs svelgr, en etr eigi,
íugtanni lið manna;
ganga menn ór munni
margreftum fletvargi.

Íugtanni leygs svelgr, en etr eigi, lið manna; menn ganga ór munni margreftum fletvargi.

The bear of the flame [HOUSE] swallows, but does not eat, the band of men; men issue from the mouth of the many-raftered bench-wolf [HOUSE].

notes

[3] munni ‘the mouth’: The last two letters are covered by a large blot, but earlier eds have read munni without apparent difficulty.
