Herv Lv 8VIII (Heiðr 25)/3 — dóttir ‘daughter’

Vaki þú, Angantýr;         vekr þik Hervör,
eingadóttir         ykkr Sváfu.
Selðu mér ór haugi         hvassan mæki,
þann er Svafrlama         slógu dvergar.

Vaki þú, Angantýr; Hervör vekr þik, eingadóttir ykkr Sváfu. Selðu mér ór haugi hvassan mæki, þann er dvergar slógu Svafrlama.

Waken, Angantýr; Hervǫr wakes you, only daughter to you and Sváfa. Give me from the mound the sharp sword which dwarfs forged for Svafrlami.

readings

[3] ‑dóttir: mögr added above the line in the hand of JR R715ˣ

notes

[3] -dóttir ‘daughter’: In R715ˣ Jón Rugman has added mögr ‘son’ above, though without crossing out the original, presumably in reference to the fact that Hervǫr is here in disguise as a man.
