GunnLeif Merl II 8VIII/9 — grund ‘earth’
‘Vilja hǫlðar hylja brunna,

viðr at ǫsku, en af ǫsku vatn.

‘Men will want to cover up the springs that cause death for most people. But all that men carry to the water will turn to something other than it was previously: earth to stone, stone to water, wood to ash, and water from ash.
