GunnLeif Merl I 55VIII/6 — sjalfir ‘themselves’

‘Enn munu í skógi         skœðir síðan
vargar vakna         veiða í borgum.
Þeir munu sína         sjalfir dolga
fella eða fjǫtra;         fáir munu verða,
þeirs treystask þeim         telja at móti.

‘Enn munu skœðir vargar síðan vakna í skógi, veiða í borgum. Þeir munu sjalfir fella eða fjǫtra dolga sína; fáir munu verða, þeirs telja treystask at móti þeim.

‘Then once more will vicious wolves awaken in the forest, hunt in the cities. They will themselves kill or shackle their foes; few will there be, who have confidence to complain against them.
