GunnLeif Merl II 6VIII/7 — þás ‘who’

‘Einn es brunna         beztr at reyna;
eykr auðstǫfum         aldr, ef drekka.
Né sótt hǫfug         sœkir hǫlða,
þás bergt hafa         beisku vatni.

‘Einn brunna es beztr at reyna; eykr aldr auðstǫfum, ef drekka. Né sœkir hǫfug sótt hǫlða, þás hafa bergt beisku vatni.

‘One of the springs is best to try; it will increase the life-span for wealth-staves [MEN], if they drink it. Nor will grievous sickness afflict men who have tasted the bitter water.
