GunnLeif Merl II 29VIII/3 — tekr ‘will put’

‘Brœðr vill hann sína         beita vélum;
tekr horshǫfuð         hildingr á sik.
En hoddskata         hræðask báðir;
flýja barmar         brott ór landi.

‘Hann vill beita brœðr sína vélum; hildingr tekr horshǫfuð á sik. En báðir hræðask hoddskata; barmar flýja brott ór landi.

‘It will attack its brothers with tricks; the ruler will put on a horse’s head. And both [brothers] will fear the treasure-chieftain [MAN]; the brothers will flee from the land.
