GunnLeif Merl I 72VIII/8 — ór ‘from’

‘Mun villigǫltr         vígdjarfr koma
ór kynstórri         Kónus ætt
sá vigra konr         Vallandi á.
Høggr yngva sonr         eikr ór skógi;
þó mun hilmir         hollr smáviði.

‘Villigǫltr, sá konr vigra, mun koma vígdjarfr ór kynstórri ætt Kónus á Vallandi. Sonr yngva høggr eikr ór skógi; þó mun hilmir hollr smáviði.

‘A wild boar, that scion of pigs, will issue, daring in combat, from the mighty lineage of Conan in France. The prince’s son hews down oaks from the forest; yet the ruler will be kindly to small trees.
