Gísl Magnkv 18II/2 — gǫgnum ‘through’

Reið folkhvǫtuðr        fyrst í gǫgnum
sǫmnuð Svía        sigri hnugginn.
Malmr dreyrugr varð        á meðal hlaupa
hauss ok herða        hans andskota.

Folkhvǫtuðr reið fyrst í gǫgnum sǫmnuð Svía, hnugginn sigri. Dreyrugr malmr varð hlaupa á meðal hauss ok herða andskota hans.

The fight-inciter [WARRIOR] rode first through the ranks of the Svíar, deprived of victory. The bloody iron must leap between the skull and shoulders of his enemies.
