Anon Sól 31VII/6 — inar ‘glowing’
Úlfum líkir þykkja allir þeir,
sem eiga hverfan hug;
svá mun gefaz, þeim er ganga skal
þær inar glæddu götur.
Allir þeir, sem eiga hverfan hug, þykkja líkir úlfum; svá mun gefaz, þeim er skal ganga þær inar glæddu götur.
All those who have a changeable heart seem like wolves; it shall turn out thus for the one who has to tread the glowing-hot paths.
notes
[6] inar glæddu götur ‘the glowing-hot paths’: Cf. st. 59 and Dugg (Cahill 1983, 25-6).
grammar
Pronouns and determiners: Definite article
The definite article is normally suffixed to nouns, except in some cases where it is used with an adjective. If the noun form ends in a vowel, the 'i' in the article is dropped. If the noun form ends in 'um', the 'm' and 'i' are both dropped. E.g. hesta (acc. pl.) > hestana (acc. pl. definite); hestum (dat. pl.) > hestunum (dat. pl. definite)
