Anon (TGT) 36III/1 — fremi ‘help’

Oss fremi, hinn es himna,
heimstýrir, skóp dýra.

Heimstýrir, hinn es skóp dýra himna, fremi oss.

May the world-controller [= God], who created the precious heavens, help us.

[1] Oss fremi: fremi oss W

notes

[1] fremi (3rd pers. pres. sg. subj.) ‘may ... help’: The reading of this verb as imp. in Skj B is contradicted by its grammatical form, the word order in the main ms., and the prose context, all of which suggest the sense given here.
