ESk Lv 9III/3 — sundr ‘asunder’

Blárs baldrekr Síra;
Brú gyrðill þvær fyrðum;
sundr springr Lygru lindi;
Leku veltr af þrǫm belti.
Kjǫl skolar Karmtar helsi;
klýfr stjórn sila Þjórnar;
bǫrð skera Gizka girði;
grafask borð í men Storðar.

Blárs baldrekr Síra; gyrðill Brú þvær fyrðum; lindi Lygru springr sundr; belti Leku veltr af þrǫm. Helsi Karmtar skolar kjǫl; stjórn klýfr sila Þjórnar; bǫrð skera girði Gizka; borð grafask í men Storðar.

Blue is the baldric of Sira <island> [SEA]; the girdle of Bru <island> [SEA] washes men; the band of Lygra <island> [SEA] bursts asunder; the belt of Leka <island> [SEA] rolls from the railing. The necklace of Karmøy <island> [SEA] rinses the keel; the rudder cleaves the harness-strap of Tjörn <island> [SEA]; prows cut the girdle of Giske <island> [SEA]; plankings dig themselves into the necklace of Stord <island> [SEA].
