ǪrvOdd Ævdr 22VIII (Ǫrv 92)/7 — byr ‘wind’

Þá fekk ek heiti,         þat er ek hafa vilda,
er mik ór fjöllum         flögð kölluðu.
Kóðuz Oddi         örvar vilja
byr bráðliga         í braut gefa.

Þá fekk ek heiti, þat er ek vilda hafa, er flögð kölluðu mik ór fjöllum. Kóðuz vilja gefa Örvar-Oddi byr bráðliga í braut.

Then I got the name that I wanted to have, when the ogres called me from the mountains. They said they wanted to give Örvar-Oddr (‘Arrow-Oddr’) a favourable wind [to get] away quickly.
