Keth Lv 8VIII (Ket 13)/2 —  ‘see’

Hvat er þat býsna,         er ek á bjargi
        ok gapir eldi yfir?
Búsifjar okkrar         hygg ek batna munu;
        líttu á ljóðvega.

Hvat er þat býsna, er ek á bjargi ok gapir yfir eldi? Ek hygg búsifjar okkrar munu batna; líttu á ljóðvega.

What terrible thing is that which I see on the mountain and which gapes over the fire? I think that the neighbourly relationship between us will become better; move [off] on the thoroughfares.

readings

[2] er ek á bjargi sé: so 471, er við berg stendr 343a

notes

[2] er ek sé á bjargi ‘which I see on the mountain’: The reading of 471 has been adopted here over that of 343a because the latter is hypometrical.
