Keth Lv 4VIII (Ket 7)/5 — vita ‘know’

Hæng kalla mik         hálfu nafni;
mun ek veita þér         viðnám heðan.
Skaltu víst vita,         áðr vit skiljum,
at búkörlum         bíta örvar.

Kalla mik Hæng hálfu nafni; ek mun veita þér viðnám heðan. Skaltu víst vita, áðr vit skiljum, at örvar bíta búkörlum.

They call me Hœngr (‘Salmon’) as half [of my] name; I will offer you resistance from here. You shall certainly know, before we two part, that arrows bite farmers.
