The prow carves the girdle of Gæla <island> [SEA]; nails incise the fetter of Taumar <island> [SEA]; the sheath of Osterøy <island> [SEA] moves violently; often is the necklace of Senja <island> [SEA] cloven. The band of Bolga <island> [SEA] washes the bow; the stiff harness-strap of Kinn <island> [SEA] quivers; the ring of Hveðra <island> [SEA] roars for a long time; the belt of Glǫn <island> [SEA] rolls hard.
