Gestumbl Heiðr 24VIII (Heiðr 71)/6 — fátt ‘little’

Hverjar eru þær brúðir,         er ganga í brimskerjum,
        ok eiga eptir firði för?
Harðan beð         hafa þær inar hvítföldnu,
        ok leika í logni fátt.
Heiðrekr konungr,         hyggðu at gátu.

Hverjar eru þær brúðir, er ganga í brimskerjum, ok eiga för eptir firði? Þær hafa harðan beð, inar hvítföldnu, ok leika fátt í logni. Heiðrekr konungr, hyggðu at gátu.

Who are those brides, who walk in surf-skerries, and have a journey along the fjord? They have a hard bed, the white-hooded ones, and play little in the calm. King Heiðrekr, think about the riddle.
