Hfr Hákdr 6III/2 — Jǫrð ‘Jǫrð’

Því hykk fleygjanda frægjan
— ferr Jǫrð und menþverri
ítran — eina at láta
Auðs systur mjǫk trauðan.

Því hykk frægjan fleygjanda [auðs] mjǫk trauðan at láta systur Auðs eina; Jǫrð ferr und ítran menþverri.

Because of that I think the renowned flinger [of riches] [GENEROUS MAN] is very reluctant to let Auðr’s <giant’s> sister [= Jǫrð (jǫrð ‘earth’)] alone; Jǫrð <goddess> submits to the glorious ring-diminisher [GENEROUS MAN].
