Sœgs munk síðr an eigi
— sás illr, es brag spillir —
sólar sverri málan,
slíðráls regin, níða.
Munk síðr an eigi níða málan sverri sólar sœgs, regin slíðráls; sá, es spillir brag, [e]s illr.
I shall by no means deride the prattling flinger of the sun of the sea [GOLD > GENEROUS MAN], gods of the scabbard-eel [SWORD > WARRIORS]; the one who spoils a praise poem is wicked.
[3] sólar sverri málan: ‘[…]lar suerri m[…]’ B, ‘solar suerrí mala’ 744ˣ
[3] málan (m. acc. sg.) ‘prattling’: The adj. máll ‘prattling, talkative, chatty’ is otherwise attested only as the second element of compounds (see LP: máll). It is formed from the noun mál n. ‘speech’.
