KormǪ Sigdr 4III/3 — fœðandi ‘the feeder’

Svall, þás gekk með gjallan
Gauts eld, hinns styr belldi,
glaðfœðandi Gríðar,
gunnr; komsk Urðr at brunni.

Gunnr svall, þás Gríðar glaðfœðandi, hinns belldi styr, gekk með gjallan eld Gauts; Urðr komsk at brunni.

The battle intensified, as the feeder of the horse of Gríðr <giantess> [(lit. ‘horse-feeder of Gríðr’) WOLF > WARRIOR], who promoted fighting, advanced with the resounding fire of Gautr <= Óðinn> [SWORD]; Urðr went to the well.
