RvHbreiðm Hl 49III/8 — kyn ‘kin’

Heyja réð hjǫrþey
Hjalmarr vígsnarr;
auðar vôru óleið
ǫrbrjót geirmót.
Vekja frák vítt mjǫk*
vápnþing dǫgling;
fella spurðak fǫrsnjǫll
fira kyn víghlyn.

Vígsnarr Hjalmarr réð heyja hjǫrþey; geirmót vôru óleið ǫrbrjót auðar. Frák dǫgling vekja vápnþing mjǫk* vítt; spurðak víghlyn fella fǫrsnjǫll kyn fira.

Battle-swift Hjálmarr waged a sword-wind [BATTLE]; spear-meetings [BATTLES] were not unpleasant to the generous breaker of wealth [GENEROUS MAN]. I heard that the hero stirred up weapon-assemblies [BATTLES] very far and wide; I learned that the battle-maple [WARRIOR] killed attack-clever kin of men.
