HSt Frag 6III/4 — hnigu ‘sank down’

Hart (fló hvast of snertu)
hregg magnaðisk, bragna
(bókar sól) þars búkar,
benvargs, hnigu margir.

Hart hregg benvargs magnaðisk, þars margir búkar bragna hnigu; sól bókar fló hvast of snertu.

The strong storm of the wound-wolf [SWORD > BATTLE] increased, where many bodies of men sank down; the sun of the book [COLOUR (steinn ‘stone’)] flew sharply in battle.
