Anon Eirm 5I/3 — gǫgn ‘meet’

‘Sigmundr ok Sinfjǫtli,         rísið snarliga
        ok gangið í gǫgn grami.
Inn þú bjóð,         ef Eirekr séi;
        hans es mér nú vôn vituð.’

‘Sigmundr ok Sinfjǫtli, rísið snarliga ok gangið í gǫgn grami. Bjóð þú inn, ef Eirekr séi; vôn hans es nú vituð mér.’

‘Sigmundr and Sinfjǫtli, rise quickly and go to meet the prince. Invite [him] in, if it is Eiríkr; it is he I am expecting now.’

readings

[3] gǫgn: ‘gougn’ 761bˣ, gǫngu FskAˣ, 52ˣ, 301ˣ

notes

[3] í gǫgn ‘to meet’: The minor emendation is generally accepted (e.g. Skj B, ÍF 29). It appears from the readings that the vellum Fsk may already have had a corrupt reading here.
