There will not be a lineage-pillar of the family of Hilditann (‘War-tooth’) [DANISH KING] more generous than the terror-enhancer [WARRIOR]; I am bound to uphold praise.
[1] ættstuðill ‘a lineage-pillar’: That is, a pillar of the family. The form of the word with átt- (so W) is a normal variant (see LP: áttstuðill; ættstuðill), and adopted in Skj B and Skald (presumably to avoid aðalhending in an odd line).
