Skinnhúfa Lv 1VIII (HjǪ 45)/7 — ykru ‘your’

Sax hefir þú, Ölvir,         slík eru vápn færi,
bana veitti Bendli,         barstu þat ór helli.
Brá ek hilmis sonum         í hana líki;
forðaðak ykru fjörvi;         fegri em ek nú hóti.

Þú hefir sax, Ölvir, færi vápn eru slík, veitti Bendli bana, barstu þat ór helli. Ek brá sonum hilmis í líki hana; forðaðak fjörvi ykru; ek em nú hóti fegri.

You have a sword, Ǫlvir, there are few weapons like it, it gave death to Bendill <giant>, you bore it out of a cave. I changed the sons of a king into the bodies of roosters; I saved your lives; now I am a little more beautiful.
