Mark Lv 1III/5 — framm ‘forward’

Fjarðlinna óð fannir
fast vetrliði rastar;
hljóp of húna gnípur
hvalranns íugtanni.
Bjǫrn gekk framm á fornar
flóðs hafskíða slóðir;
skúrǫrðigr braut skorðu
skers glymfjǫtur bersi.

Vetrliði rastar óð fast fannir fjarðlinna; íugtanni hvalranns hljóp of gnípur húna. Bjǫrn flóðs gekk framm á fornar slóðir hafskíða; skúrǫrðigr bersi skorðu braut glymfjǫtur skers.

The winter-survivor <bear> of the maelstrom [SHIP] waded steadily through the snowdrifts of fjord-snakes [FISH > WAVES]; the greedy-toothed one <bear> of the whale-house [SEA > SHIP] leapt across crags of mastheads [WAVES]. The bear of the flood [SHIP] went forward on the old tracks of ocean-skis [SHIPS > WAVES]; the storm-battling little bear of the prop [SHIP] broke the resounding fetter of the skerry [SEA].
