ESk Frag 6III/3 — bregðr ‘puts an end’

Dolgskára kná dýrum
dýrr magnandi stýra
— Hugins fermu bregðr harmi
harmr — bliksólar Garmi.

Dýrr magnandi dolgskára kná stýra dýrum Garmi bliksólar; harmr fermu Hugins bregðr harmi.

The splendid strengthener of the battle-gull [RAVEN/EAGLE > WARRIOR] controls the splendid Garmr <dog> of the gleam-sun [SHIELD > WEAPON]; the grief of Huginn’s <raven’s> food [CORPSES > RAVEN/EAGLE] puts an end to its grief.
