BjRagn Lv 3VIII (Ragn 28)/3 — munu ‘he’ll’

Hér flýgr hverjan morgin
hress um borgir þessar
(læz heill munu af hungri)
heiðar valr (of deyja).
Hann fari suðr um sanda
ok , hvar vér létum
(þar fær hann dauðs manns) dreyra
(dögg) ór skýlihöggum.

Valr heiðar flýgr hér hverjan morgin hress um þessar borgir; heill læz munu of deyja af hungri. Fari hann suðr um sanda ok , hvar vér létum dreyra ór skýlihöggum; þar fær hann dögg dauðs manns.

A falcon of the heath [RAVEN/EAGLE] flies here every morning, full of life, around these strongholds; the healthy one says he’ll die of hunger. Let him go south over the sands and let him see where we let blood flow from oblique axe-strokes; there he’ll obtain the dew of a dead man [BLOOD].
