Svart Skauf 9VIII/6 — ór ‘of’

Mælti þanninn         móðir dratthala:
‘Matr er ei meiri         mier í höndum:
hál rófubein         og hryggr ór lambi,
bógleggir þrír         og banakringla’.

Móðir mælti dratthala þanninn: ‘Meiri matr er ei í höndum mier: hál rófubein og hryggr ór lambi, þrír bógleggir og banakringla.’

The mother spoke to Dragging-tail in this way: ‘There is no more food at my disposal: slippery tailbones and a backbone of lamb, three shoulder bones and an upper neck bone.’
