Feigðarorð, es kom at Fjǫlni, varð framgengt, þars Fróði bjó. Ok vindlauss vágr geira svigðis skyldi of viða sikling.
The word of doom that fell upon Fjǫlnir was fulfilled where Fróði lived. And the windless wave of the spears of the bull [HORNS > BEER] was to destroy the prince.
[6] geira svigðis ‘of the spears of the bull [HORNS]’: The word svigðir is attested only here and means ‘the one with the bent horns’ (Konráð Gíslason 1881, 205; Yng 1912), cf. OIcel. sveigja ‘to bend’ and svig n. ‘bend’.
