GunnLeif Merl I 61VIII/6 — þermlask ‘will be stripped’

‘Glíkt mun gaupu         grams jóð vesa;
vill þat sinni þjóð         sjalfri steypa.
En af þeim sǫkum         þermlask bæði
Íra ok Engla         auðgrar jarðar
Néústría         ok numin tígnum.

‘Jóð grams mun vesa glíkt gaupu; þat vill steypa þjóð sinni sjalfri. En af þeim sǫkum þermlask Néústría auðgrar jarðar bæði Íra ok Engla, ok numin tígnum.

‘The king’s son will resemble a lynx; it will wish to destroy its own people. And for those reasons Neustria will be stripped of the rich land of both the Irish and the English and deprived of honours.

notes

[6] þermlask ‘will be stripped’: Þermlask is normalised from the metathesised ms. form þremlask in Skj B (followed by Skald and Merl 2012) and in this edn. This edn follows Skj B (cf. Skald and Merl 2012) in deleting the pron. hann which appears after þremlask in the ms.
