I agree with this interpretation of <þau er>: I take it as
literally equivalent to 'those from which', with 'those'
unnecessary in English.

It pretty much has to be 'for the journey abroad', since
we've no indication that they actually have property abroad,
but I don't really understand this use of <útan> -- or
better, I don't really understand how to recognize it.

From life.
