Þhorn Harkv 22I/5 — húsum ‘estate’

‘At leikurum ok trúðum         hef ek þik lítt fregit;
hverr es ørgáti         þeira Andaðar
        at húsum Haralds?’

‘Ek hef fregit þik lítt at leikurum ok trúðum; hverr es ørgáti þeira Andaðar at húsum Haralds?’

‘I have asked you little about jesters and jugglers; what is the hospitality for Andaðr and his fellows in Haraldr’s estate?’

notes

[5] húsum ‘estate’: In the pl., hús normally designates the buildings on a farm, so the pl. here could either refer to a single farmstead or indicate that Haraldr had several houses in different parts of the country.
