The Norwegian Runic Poem 27 8 Constraint gives scant choice ; a naked man is chilled by the frost. 9 Ice we call the broad bridge ; the blind man must be led. 10 Plenty is a boon to men; I say that Frothi was generous. 1 1 Sun is the light of the world ; I bow to the divine decree. 12 Tyr is a one-handed god ; often has the smith to blow. 13 Birch has the greenest leaves of any shrub ; Loki was fortunate in his deceit. 14 Man is an augmentation of the dust ; 15 is the claw of the hawk. great A waterfall is a River which falls from a mountain-side; but ornaments are of gold. 16 Yew is the greenest of trees in winter; it is wont to crackle when it burns. mnendr, because he offered his right hand as a pledge to the Fenrisulfr, who promptly bit it off when he found himself securely bound with the fetter Gleipnir (Gylf. c. xxxiv.). Cf. Sigrdrifumal vi. : Sigrunar skalt kunna, ef vill sigr hafa, ok risti d hjalti hjgrs, sumar d vttrimum, sumar d valbgstum ok nefna tysvar Ty. 13. Bjarkan (=bjork, birch), found only as the name of the letter B in the Eunic alphabet. Loki bar fleerffa tima is not perhaps very satisfactory ; it will translate, however, if bar tima be taken in the sense of bera gsefu til, to be fortunate in; cf. 6lsen and Bugge, Smastykker, pp. 102, 111. So it seems unnecessary to accept the C.P.B. emendation, Loki brdflserffa slma. The reference is doubtless to Loki's responsibility for Balder's death. Gylf. c. XLIX. 14. Maffr er moldar auki. Cf. Hervarar saga c. v. 3 : Mjok eruS orSnir Arngrims synir megir at meinsamir moldar auki, probably from Psalm en. 14. 15. Construe ; foss er Iqgr fsellr 6r fjalle. nosser. Icelandic hnossir, 16. It is worth noting that yr is phonetically equivalent to the AS. eoh (ih), though the character which bears that name is apparently descended from the fifteenth letter of the old alphabet (eolh-secg), which in Scandinavian inscriptions from the sixth century onwards (e.g. Kragehul, Stentofte, etc.) is inverted.
