Gestumbl Heiðr 22VIII (Heiðr 69)/6 — sinn ‘their’

Hverjar eru þær meyjar,         er ganga margar saman
        at forvitni föður?
Mörgum mönnum         hafa þær at meini orðit;
        við þat munu þær sinn aldr ala.
Heiðrekr konungr,         hyggðu at gátu.

Hverjar eru þær meyjar, er ganga margar saman at forvitni föður? Þær hafa orðit mörgum mönnum at meini; þær munu ala aldr sinn við þat. Heiðrekr konungr, hyggðu at gátu.

Who are those girls, who go many together to the curiosity of their father? They have caused harm to many men; with that they must spend their lives. King Heiðrekr, think about the riddle.
