ǪrvOdd Ævdr 39VIII (Ǫrv 109)/4 — konur ‘women’

Sá ek um síðir,         hvar saman fóru
karlar röskvir         ok konur þeira.
Þá lét ek fjóra         frændr Ölvarar,
eggleiks hvata,         öndu týna.

Ek sá um síðir, hvar röskvir karlar ok konur þeira fóru saman. Þá lét ek fjóra frændr Ölvarar, hvata eggleiks, týna öndu.

I saw at last where brave men and their women were moving together. Then I caused four of Ǫlvǫr’s kinsmen, keen in the play of swords [BATTLE], to lose their lives.
