Here's my translation. I wasn't certain we were still working through
Hrafnkel but pleased we are.

One question re: Haukur's comment that, in the clause "Hann ferr norðr
til brúa", " brúa" is accusative plural. I would have expected that it
was genitive plural, as I thought "til" always took a genitive and it
has the normal gentive plural ending of "a". Any comments?

Alysseann

ok spurði, at Sámr var á þinginu. Honum þótti þat hloegiligt.
and learned that Sám was at the Thing. That seemed to him laughable.
