StarkSt Vík 18VIII (Gautr 26)/5 — son ‘son’

Átti sér         erfivörðu
tírsamr tvá         tyggi alna.
Hét hans son         Haraldr inn ellri;
setti þann         at Þelamörku.

Tírsamr tyggi átti tvá erfivörðu alna sér. Inn ellri son hans hét Haraldr; setti þann at Þelamörku.

The fame-desiring ruler had two heirs born to him. The elder son of his was called Haraldr; he placed that one over Telemark.

notes

[5] son ‘son’: The ms. has ‘sun’. Most eds restore the final <r> to give the nom. sg. case, but this is not necessary, as the nom. form without <r> is common (ANG §395. 1).
