Anon Sól 60VII/3 —  ‘to obtain’

Marga menn        sá ek moldar gengna,
        þá er eigi máttu þjónustu ;
heiðnar stjörnur        stóðu yfir höfði þeim
        fáðar feiknstöfum.

Ek sá marga menn gengna moldar, þá er eigi máttu þjónustu; heiðnar stjörnur stóðu yfir höfði þeim, fáðar feiknstöfum.

I saw many men gone into earth, those who had not managed to obtain the sacrament; heathen stars stood over their heads, coloured with terrible staves.
