valfall Haralds alla.
Valfall Haralds tekr alla vígôsu vísa.
Haraldr’s death in battle affects all the battle-gods [WARRIORS] of the leader.
[2] valfall ‘death in battle’: This more usually means ‘slaughter’ applied collectively to a mass of bodies (e.g. Ótt Knútdr 10/5, Arn Hardr 7/4II), but the sense could possibly be extended to the death of an individual, Haraldr. If on the other hand the couplet is syntactically incomplete (cf. Note to [All] above), the word may have had its usual sense.
