Innsteinn Innkv 6VIII (Hálf 24)/3 — vér ‘we’

Þat dreymði mik         þriðja sinni,
at vér í kaf niðr         komnir værim.
Eiga mun allstórt         um at véla;
hvat kveðr þú, þengill,         þann draum vita?

Þat dreymði mik þriðja sinni, at vér værim komnir niðr í kaf. Allstórt mun eiga um at véla; hvat kveðr þú, þengill, þann draum vita?

The third time I dreamed that we were deeply immersed in water. Something very great will have to be dealt with; what do you say, king, that dream means?

notes

[4] vér værim ‘we were’: All previous eds have normalised the ms.’s værum to the pret. subj. 1st pers. pl. værim; cf. Note to Hálf 16/6.
