Anon (FoGT) 12III/8 — bæti ‘repair’

Vatn kalla mig
— vil eg efla þig,
hoddveitir — frams
hauðrfjörnis grams:
eg hreinsa alt;
eg vermi kalt;
eg birti sjón;
eg bæti tjón.

Kalla mig vatn frams grams hauðrfjörnis; eg vil efla þig, hoddveitir: eg hreinsa alt; eg vermi kalt; eg birti sjón; eg bæti tjón.

I call myself water of the outstanding king of the earth-helmet [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)]; I want to strengthen you, gold-giver [GENEROUS MAN]: I cleanse everything; I warm what is cold; I brighten vision; I repair loss.
