Flaug, en firnabjúgir,
foldar hnegg at seggjum,
fjarðelds fleygi-Nirðir
fellu skjótt at velli.
Hnegg foldar flaug at seggjum, en firnabjúgir fleygi-Nirðir fjarðelds fellu skjótt at velli.
The heart of the earth [STONE] flew at men, and the overly stooping throwing-Nirðir <gods> of fjord-fire [GOLD > GENEROUS MEN] fell quickly on the field.
[4] fellu: felli all
[4] fellu (3rd pers. pl. pret. indic.) ‘fell’: Both mss have felli, which could be construed as 3rd pers. pl. pret. subj. The subj. mood is not syntactically motivated here, however, and all previous eds emend to fellu.
