ÚlfrU Húsdr 6III/7 — grunn ‘the ground’

Fullǫflugr lét fellir
fjall-Gauts hnefa skjalla
— ramt mein vas þat — reyni
reyrar leggs við eyra.
Víðgymnir laust Vimrar
vaðs af frônum naðri
hlusta grunn við hrǫnnum.
Hlaut innan svá minnum.

Fullǫflugr fellir fjall-Gauts lét hnefa skjalla við eyra reyni leggs reyrar; þat vas ramt mein. Víðgymnir vaðs Vimrar laust grunn hlusta af frônum naðri við hrǫnnum. Hlaut svá innan minnum.

The most powerful killer of the mountain-Gautr <man of the Gautar> [GIANT > = Þórr] let his fist slam against the ear of the tester of the bone of the reed [STONE > GIANT]; that was a mighty injury. The Víðgymnir <giant> of the ford of Vimur <river> [= Þórr] struck the ground of the ears [HEAD] off the gleaming serpent near the waves. Thus [the hall] received [decoration] inside with memorable pictures.
