GunnLeif Merl I 77VIII/4 — gnótt ‘of bounty’

‘Verðr at blóði         brunnr inn fagri;
þós á grundu         gnótt hvers konar.
En á holmi         hildingar tveir
berjask of brúði         bjarthaddaða;
sús í víðri         Vaðbatúli.

‘Inn fagri brunnr verðr at blóði; þós gnótt hvers konar á grundu. En tveir hildingar berjask á holmi of bjarthaddaða brúði; sús í víðri Vaðbatúli.

‘The fine spring turns to blood; yet there is every kind of bounty on the earth. And two leaders fight on an island over a bright-haired woman; she is in broad Vadum batuli.
