ÞSjár Frag 1III/4 — Glaumi ‘the Glaumr’

Sveggja lét fyr Siggju
sólborðs Goti norðan;
gustr skaut Gylfa rastar
Glaumi suðr fyr Aumar.
En slóð-Goti síðan
sæðings fyr skut bæði
— hestr óð lauks fyr Lista —
lagði Kǫrmt ok Agðir.

Goti sólborðs lét sveggja fyr norðan Siggju; gustr skaut Glaumi rastar Gylfa suðr fyr Aumar. En sæðings slóð-Goti lagði síðan bæði Kǫrmt ok Agðir fyr skut; hestr lauks óð fyr Lista.

The Goti <horse> of the ship-plank [SHIP] rocked north of Siggjo; the wind-gust pushed the Glaumr <horse> of Gylfi’s <sea-king’s> path [SEA > SHIP] south past Eime. And the Goti <horse> of the seagull’s track [(lit. ‘seagull’s track-Goti’) SEA > SHIP] then put both Karmøy and Agder behind the stern; the horse of the mast [SHIP] advanced past Lista.
