StarkSt Vík 1VIII (Gautr 9)/5 — vági ‘the bay’

Þá var ek ungr,         er inni brann
frækna fjölð         með feðr …
þjóðnær vági         fyr Þrumu innan.

Ek var ungr þá, er fjölð frækna brann inni með feðr … þjóðnær vági fyr innan Þrumu.

I was young then, when a crowd of bold men burnt inside with … father very near the bay inside of Tromøy.

readings

[5] ‑nær vági: so 152, ‘nerunge’ 590b‑cˣ, papp11ˣ

notes

[5] þjóðnær vági ‘very near the bay’: For reasons already discussed in Note to l. 4 and because the readings of 590b-cˣ and papp11ˣ are garbled, this interpretation is tentative. Skj B and Skald treat þjóðnær as a cpd adv. meaning ‘very near’, in which the element þjóð- is an intensifier, ‘very’, and that interpretation is followed here.
