Svart Skauf 34VIII/3 — þær ‘them’

‘Forðaz vissa eg         vielar gjörvallar,
þó að fyrðar þær         fyrir mig setti.
Þurfti eingi         þess að leita,
því að eg vissa         vielar gjörvallar.

‘Eg vissa forðaz gjörvallar vielar, þó að fyrðar setti þær fyrir mig. Eingi þurfti að leita þess, því að eg vissa gjörvallar vielar.

‘I knew how to escape every single trap, though people set them for me. No one needed to try that, because I knew all traps.

readings

[3] þær: om. Rask87ˣ

notes

[3] þær ‘them’: Omitted in Rask87ˣ, which is possible but less preferable since it requires full stress on þó in the conj. þó að ‘although’.
