Well Hello Uoden
<<"framgjarn" I smell ambitious or aspiring.
"eager" or "keen" are to juicy to be fitting I reckon.>>I do believe that eager came from Zoega but I do so like your rendering too juicy to be fitting and I certainly take your point on the amendments - I shall make a note of this tomorrow morning - Yikes it's turned midnight and Shhh I have a noisy Epson Printer
Goodnight
Kveðja
Patricia

Hi there Patricia,
They (with) Hrut or : Hrútur and company?
"Hirðmaður" is courtier [der Hofmann]
One begs of one's King. If you ask me as I'm not a King.
Hrút'ur asks for being appointed courtier. > Hirðvist.
The second day after.
He minded [hugði> Hug'a] throughly the man ....
What urged [hvatti] you ...
"mun eg yðvar verða við að njóta að eg fái rétt af."
mun eg verða: I must probably (like his memory)
að njóta við yðvar: to benefit from your presence
að eg fái rétt af: in order to that I come justly off [out of it.
"Sóm'a" "ómar" as genally most appropriate >suitable.
"vel skipað" (position) well constituted/ appointed
"framgjarn" I smell ambitious or aspiring.
"eager" or "keen" are to juicy to be fitting I reckon.
Thanks Uoden
