I recall when the earth formerly gaped with a dug mouth at the distributor of the words of the dark-Dane of the bones of green Hlóðyn <earth> [ROCKS > GIANT > GOLD > GENEROUS MAN].
[1] jǫrð: orð A
[1, 3-4] jǫrð gein … grǫfnum munni ‘the earth … gaped with a dug mouth’: This phrase is a metaphorical expression for the open grave about to receive the body. The earth is compared to a monster that has opened (gein) its mouth (munni) to devour its victim, the deceased.
