Haralds protects hawk isle with the sword, to live and die. | Remarks about the translation | I think the correct text should be:
Haralds varðar þú hjörvi
haukey æ lifa ok deyja.

piasNumber of messages: 8113 | I don't think so, it's more like a statement. Does it look weird? | | |
25 November 2008 14:47 | | | No, but in that case it should be "protects" | | |

I don't think any icelandic could have done it better, mainly because they don't understand the source. You did a research and you found the answer. It is just that "æ" which means something else, but since the source is old and unclear, I agree with your translation.
