Hildibrandr Lv 6VIII (Ásm 6)/2 — andvani ‘bereft’

Nú verð ek liggja         lífs andvani,
mæki undaðr,         þeim er magnar sár.

Ek verð nú liggja andvani lífs, undaðr mæki, þeim er magnar sár.

Now I must lie bereft of life, wounded by a sword, the one that increases wounds.

readings

[2] andvani: andvana 7

notes

[2] andvani ‘bereft’: The ms. reads andvana, but it is necessary to emend in order to give an adj. in the m. nom. sg. in agreement with ek ‘I’ (l. 1).
