Rloð Lv 4VIII (Ragn 8)/2 — mun ‘will’
Sigurðr mun sveinn of heitinn;
sá mun orrostur heyja,
mjök líkr vera móður
ok mögr föður kallaðr.
Sá mun Óðins ættar
yfirþáttr vera heitinn;
þeim er ormr í auga,
er annan lét svelta.
Sveinn mun of heitinn Sigurðr; sá mun heyja orrostur, vera mjök líkr móður ok kallaðr mögr föður. Sá mun vera heitinn yfirþáttr ættar Óðins; ormr er í auga þeim, er lét annan svelta.
The boy will be called Sigurðr; he will engage in battles, will be very like his mother and called his father’s son. He will come to be known as the chief scion of Óðinn’s dynasty; there is a snake in the eye of him [Sigurðr Fáfnisbani] who caused another [snake, Fáfnir] to die.
