Common Noun

This is one kind of brynhent form:

Vafdi lítt er virdum mætti
vigraekiandi fram at sækia.
Skerdir gekk í skúrum Hlakkar
Sköglar serks fyrir rodnum merkium.
Ruddisk land en raesir Thrænda
Ribbungum skóp bana thungan.
Gunnarr skaut und Gera fótar
grimmsetta il hiarna kletti.

The battle-cultivator hesitated little to advance when he met
men. The harmer of Skogul’s shirt [mail-coat] went before
the reddened standards in Hlokk’s showers [battle]. The
land was cleared but the Thronds’ chieftain gave the
Ribbungs a heavy death. Gunnar put the brains’ cliff [men’s
heads] beneath the grimly-equipped sole of Geri’s [the
wolf’s] foot.
