Thanks, Alan, for your help. I did have one question tho.

Couldn't bragðs mean "at once" in the context?

En þó munum vér það bragðs taka (see bragð, Z2)."
But still we will take that step (see bragð, Z2).'


These notes are very helpful!

able to (see fá + pp, Z7)

létu en þó eggjuðu (I think they are doing the urging, rather than being
urged, which would require pp)

sér létu verst eira.
caused (acted) to spare (see eira, Z1) themselves
worst (most ignominiously).

(slökkva, o with slash through it
in Z)
