Salue encore! Patrice
"Feig er sú sem mun brátt deyja."
Or is she which will soon die.
Fey says dying. "Feig may be little bit sooner than Fey"
Look "dauðdæmd" is she sentenced to death I compare that to doomed.
We use Dóm(doúm) but you use jugement or doom(dúm)[dauðaDóm].
I felt my grandmother was "Feig(h)" the day before she passed away.
Just to be nice
Thanks
Uoden
