GunnLeif Merl II 38VIII/8 — fót ‘foot’

‘En galti þat         gengr at reyna;
blæss hann í andlit         ok í augu gram.
En refr við þat         ræðr á galta;
fær hann af hánum         fót inn vinstra
hlust ina hœgri         ok hryggjar nes.

‘En galti gengr at reyna þat; hann blæss í andlit ok í augu gram. En refr ræðr á galta við þat; hann fær inn vinstra fót af hánum, ina hœgri hlust ok nes hryggjar.

‘And the boar will go to test that; he will blow in the face and eyes of the ruler. But thereupon the fox will attack the boar; he will take from him the left foot, the right ear, and the headland of the back [TAIL].
