SnSt Ht 48III/4 — auðs ‘wealth’

Auðkendar verr auði
auð-Týr boga nauðir;
þars auðviðum auðit
auðs í gulli rauðu.
Heiðmǫnnum býr heiðis
heiðmildr jǫfurr reiðir;
venr heiðfrǫmuðr heiðar
heiðgjǫf vala leiðar.

Auð-Týr verr auðkendar nauðir boga auði; þars auðviðum auðit auðs í rauðu gulli. Heiðmildr jǫfurr býr reiðir heiðis heiðmǫnnum; heiðfrǫmuðr venr heiðar leiðar vala heiðgjǫf.

The wealth-Týr <god> [MAN] wraps readily recognised compellers of the bow [ARMS] with wealth; there wealth is allotted to wealth-trees [MEN] in red gold. The payment-liberal prince adorns chariots of the hawk [ARMS] of paid men; the payment-advancer [GENEROUS MAN] accustoms bright paths of falcons [ARMS] to the honour-gift.
