GunnLeif Merl I 39VIII/8 — fold ‘the land’

‘Þá mun inn hvíti         hjarlþvengr fara
snót saxneska         snarráðr laða.
Ok með miklum         mannfjǫlða kemr
fjarðbyggs Skǫgul         fold at byggja.

‘Þá mun inn hvíti hjarlþvengr fara snarráðr laða saxneska snót. Ok Skǫgul fjarðbyggs kemr með miklum mannfjǫlða at byggja fold.

‘Then the white thong of the earth [SNAKE] will travel, with swift resolution, to invite the Saxon woman. And the Skǫgul <valkyrie> of fjord-barley [JEWEL (steinn ‘stone’) > WOMAN] will come with a great multitude of men to settle the land.
