Stúfr Stúfdr 7II/4 — suðr ‘south’

Tíreggjaðr hjó tyggi
tveim hǫndum lið beima;
reifr gekk herr und hlífar
hizig suðr fyr Nizi.

Tíreggjaðr tyggi hjó lið beima tveim hǫndum; reifr herr gekk und hlífar hizig suðr fyr Nizi.

The fame-spurred ruler cut down the troop of warriors with both hands; the cheerful army advanced beneath shields there south of the Nissan.

notes

[4] hizig suðr fyr Nizi ‘there south of the Nissan’: This l. could also belong to the first cl.: ‘The fame-eager ruler cut down the troop of warriors with both hands there south of the Nissan’. The Nissan is a river in Halland, present-day Sweden (then a part of Denmark).
