RvHbreiðm Hl 24III/6 — hjalm ‘the helmet’

Hildi vakði … ;
hildar vas sá gramr mildr,
þvít hildi …
hildfrœkn vildi.
Hjalmar kenndu hjalms vǫnd;
hjalm beit snarpr malmr,
en hjalmr hjalms …
hjalmr framði.

… vakði hildi; sá gramr vas mildr hildar, þvít … hildfrœkn vildi hildi. Hjalmar kenndu vǫnd hjalms; snarpr malmr beit hjalm, en hjalmr hjalms … hjalmr framði.

… stirred up battle; that hero was generous with battle, because … the battle-brave wanted battle. Helmets felt the rod of the helmet [SWORD]; the sharp sword bit the helmet, and the helmet helmet’s … the helmet advanced.
