Freydís fór nú til bús síns því að það hafði staðið meðan óskatt. Hún fékk
mikinn feng
 
May I offer a suggestion Grace
 
I am far from finished (I mean started)  but your query caught my eye  and I
thought there was a vowel difference /mutation thing ú  for ó
 
and it seemed to me to be that she went to her buildings to see if they were undamaged
and found them to be none the worse  for her being away  - ie. they had stood - still - while she was away
 
I am maybe reading something into this - because she then makes good provision for her
household - bribery so they do not go clecking to the "Police"  and they had looked after
the houses in her absence
 
I shall have to do more work on this tomorrow , it's getting late this side the pond
I shall see what I can do
