Anon Hsv 130^VII/2 — hlut ‘a thing’

⬅︎ hlutr (noun m.; °-ar, dat. -i/-; -ir, acc. -i/-u): part, thing

Mikit mæla        skaltu eigi um margan hlut;
        lasta þú fátt né lofa;
þvít á einni stundu        bregz, þat er ætlat hafa
        gott ok ilt gum*ar.

Skaltu eigi mæla mikit um margan hlut; lasta þú fátt né lofa, þvít á einni stundu bregz, þat er gum*ar hafa ætlat gott ok ilt.

You must not talk too much about many a thing; blame little and do not praise, because in a short while that which people have regarded as good and evil changes.
