Haukur,
What would the appropriate greeting be?

In other news "Heilsa" is not an Icelandic/Old Norse greeting.
It seems to be the result of a similar sort of translation style
as the phrase you quoted. If you look up "to greet" in the
dictionary you will indeed get "heilsa" but that doesn't mean
that "heilsa" is an appropriate greeting.

KveĆ°ja,
