GunnLeif Merl I 38VIII/4 — landi ‘the land’

‘Svá tœmir láð         lýða bǫrnum,
— drífr hryggr heðan         herr ór landi
at skógar þar         skjótla vaxa,
es ársamir         akrar vôru
fyrr með fyrðum         á fold Breta.

‘Svá tœmir láð bǫrnum lýða — hryggr herr drífr heðan ór landi —, at skógar vaxa skjótla þar, es fyrr vôru ársamir akrar með fyrðum á fold Breta.

‘Thus the land will be emptied of the children of men [MANKIND] — the grieving people will stream from here out of the land — so that the forests will quickly grow there where previously among men there were fertile fields in the land of the Britons.
