GunnLeif Merl I 92VIII/4 — orðnar ‘become’

‘Munu kapps mǫnnum         kvánfǫng boðin:
eru ekkjur þar         orðnar margar.
En á kǫldum         kall þeira næst
menn Mundíu         montum heyra.’

‘Kvánfǫng munu boðin mǫnnum kapps: margar eru orðnar ekkjur þar. En menn heyra kall þeira næst á kǫldum montum Mundíu.’

‘Marriages will be offered to men of bravery: many [women] have become widows there. But men will hear their cry afterwards on the cold mountains of the Alps.’
