Anon (FoGT) 29III/7 — mest ‘most’

Mætum stend eg að móti
mensveigjanda eigi;
rís eg við Ránar eisu
runni flærðarkunnum.
Því heit eg víst að veita
vígs dreingiligt geingi;
þier heit eg mest að móti
meginstrangliga að ganga.

Eg stend eigi að móti mætum mensveigjanda; eg rís við flærðarkunnum runni eisu Ránar. Eg heit því víst að veita dreingiligt geingi vígs; eg heit mest að ganga meginstrangliga að móti þier.

I do not stand opposed to the excellent necklace-distributor [GENEROUS MAN]; I oppose the notoriously deceitful tree of the fire of Rán <goddess> [GOLD > MAN]. I certainly promise to give valiant support in a fight; I promise most to oppose you very strongly.
