Ív Sig 5II/8 — bôru ‘bore’

Ól hertogi        hrafna í fjǫrðum;
skulfu skeyti        í Skota blóði,
þars fyr jǫfri        austan komnum
morðáls metendr        merki bôru.

Hertogi ól hrafna í fjǫrðum; skeyti skulfu í blóði Skota, þars metendr morðáls bôru merki fyr jǫfri austan komnum.

The army-leader nourished ravens in the fjords; arrows shook in the blood of the Scots, where the testers of the battle-eel [SWORD > WARRIORS] bore the standards before the prince who had come from the east.
