  Fehu  F  Fay-who  AKA  Fe, Feoh


Old English

Feoh byþ frofur fira gehwylcum;
sceal ðeah manna gehwylc miclun hyt dælan
gif he wile for drihtne domes hleotan.


    Wealth is a comfort to all men;
    yet must every man bestow it freely,
    if he wish to gain honour in the sight of the Lord.

Norwegian

Fé vældr frænda róge;
føðesk ulfr í skóge.


    Wealth is a source of discord among kinsmen;
    the wolf lives in the forest.

Icelandic

Fé er frænda róg

ok flæðar viti
ok grafseiðs gata
aurum fylkir.


    Wealth

    source of discord among kinsmen
    and fire of the sea
    and path of the serpent.
