Anon Hsv 6VII/5 — einskis ‘does not’
Bragna hvern, er þú á brautu finnr,
kveð þú hann kunnliga;
ófróðr er sá, er einskis spyrr,
ef finnr at máli mann.
Hvern bragna, er þú finnr á brautu, kveð þú hann kunnliga; sá, er einskis spyrr, er ófróðr, ef finnr mann at máli.
Each man whom you meet on the road, greet him intimately; he who does not ask is unwise, if he finds a man to talk to.
