ǪrvOdd Ævdr 52VIII (Ǫrv 122)/5 — svá ‘so’

Sigldum síðan         suðr langt í haf,
áðr ek grunnsævi         grimmu mættak,
svá at einn saman         en öllu firðr
gumna sinni         gekk ek annan veg.

Sigldum síðan langt suðr í haf, áðr ek mættak grimmu grunnsævi, svá at ek gekk annan veg einn saman en firðr öllu sinni gumna.

We sailed then a long way south in the ocean before I came upon treacherous shallows, so that I went another way alone and deprived of all company of men.
