GunnLeif Merl II 13VIII/2 — landi ‘the land’

‘Gerisk ógurligt         óp í landi,
es gull-Skǫgul         grætr hástǫfum.
Ok þjóta tekr         þjóð með henni
innan of alla         ey með hringum.

‘Ógurligt óp gerisk í landi, es gull-Skǫgul grætr hástǫfum. Ok þjóð tekr þjóta með henni innan of alla ey með hringum.

‘A terrible cry will be made in the land, when the Skǫgul <valkyrie> of gold [WOMAN] weeps loudly. And people therein will start wailing with her throughout the entire island.
