Gríml Lv 3VIII (GrL 5)/3 — eggju ‘blade’

Skal ek ykr báðum         skjótliga heita
oddi ok eggju         í upphafi.
Munu þá reyna         Hrungnis mellur,
hvárt betr dugir         broddr eða krumma.

Ek skal heita ykr báðum oddi ok eggju skjótliga í upphafi. Mellur Hrungnis munu þá reyna, hvárt broddr eða krumma dugir betr.

I will quickly promise you both at the outset weapon-point and blade. The female lovers of Hrungnir <giant> [GIANTESSES] will discover then whether weapon-point or claw is more effective.
