Þjóð Yt 2I/8 — dvergi ‘the dwarf’

En dagskjarr
Dúrnis niðja
salvǫrðuðr
Sveigði vélti,
þás í stein
hinn stórgeði
Dusla konr
ept dvergi hljóp.
Ok salr bjartr
þeira Sǫkmímis
jǫtunbyggðr
við jǫfri gein.

En dagskjarr Dúrnis niðja salvǫrðuðr vélti Sveigði, þás hinn stórgeði konr Dusla hljóp í stein ept dvergi. Ok bjartr jǫtunbyggðr salr þeira Sǫkmímis gein við jǫfri.

And the daylight-shy guard of the hall of the descendants of Dúrnir <dwarf> [(lit. ‘hall-guard of the descendants of Dúrnir’) DWARFS > ROCK > DWARF] tricked Sveigðir when the great-minded offspring of Dusli [= Sveigðir] ran into the rock after the dwarf. And the bright giant-inhabited hall of Sǫkmímir <giant> and his followers [ROCK] gaped at the prince.
