GunnLeif Merl I 45VIII/9 — fyr ‘for its’

‘Mun gull glóa         guðs húsum á,
en lǫgðis veðr         lægir þeygi.
Mun trautt taka         tálsamr dreki
híð sín mega,         þvíat honum nálgask
víti fyr vélar,         þats hann verðr bera.

‘Gull mun glóa á húsum guðs, en veðr lǫgðis lægir þeygi. Tálsamr dreki mun trautt mega taka híð sín, þvíat víti nálgask honum fyr vélar, þats hann verðr bera.

‘Gold will shine in God’s houses, but the storm of the sword [BATTLE] will not cease. The treacherous dragon will scarcely manage to reach its lairs, since retributions for its machinations will come upon it, that it will have to endure.
