That's right, literally "and each asked the other".
píslum.
or torture.
"Then Loki was caught and brough to the thing (assembly, council [of
the Gods]) and threatened with death or tortures."
"and comes one day to the home of the giant Thjazi"
"He had rowed to sea"
A typo for 'arnarhaminn' (accusative) "the form of an eagle".
Lit. "and there was made an eagle-sucking (roaring of wind from
eagle's wings) in the [i.e. his] flight"
I.e. "out under the walls of Asgard"
"inside the gates of Asgard"
"all weapons of war" (rather than 'vápn sín' "her weapons").
"Not much will be ugly on Baldr." (Which is who she hopes it is,
thinking: anyone with feet this fine must be Baldr, the most beautiful
of the gods.)
