Anon (SnE) 4III/1 — Heill

Heill komt, handar svella
hlynr!’ Kvaddi svá brynja.

‘Komt heill, hlynr svella handar!’ Svá kvaddi brynja.

‘Welcome, maple of ice-sheets of the hand [SILVER > MAN]!’ Thus was the greeting of the byrnie.

readings

[1] Heill: ‘[…]ill’ U

notes

[1] komt heill ‘welcome’: Lit. ‘come you hale, healthy’. The RE 1665 variant, (normalised) sé þú lit. ‘be you’, is also possible, but apparently an innovation in that redaction.
