RvHbreiðm Hl 46III/1 — eggjar ‘edges’

Hverr rýðr hvassar eggjar?
Hverr brytjar mat vargi?
Hverr gerir hjalma skúrir?
Hverr eggjaði styrjar?
Haraldr rauð hvassar eggjar;
herr brytjar mat vargi;
hjalmskúr gerir Hǫgni;
Hjarrandi réð gunni.

Hverr rýðr hvassar eggjar? Hverr brytjar vargi mat? Hverr gerir skúrir hjalma? Hverr eggjaði styrjar? Haraldr rauð hvassar eggjar; herr brytjar vargi mat; Hǫgni gerir hjalmskúr; Hjarrandi réð gunni.

Who reddens sharp edges? Who cuts food for the wolf? Who creates showers of helmets [BATTLES]? Who instigated strife? Haraldr reddened sharp edges; the army cuts food for the wolf; Hǫgni creates the helmet-shower [BATTLE]; Hjarrandi caused the battle.
