  Isa  I  Ee-saw   AKA  Is(s)


Old English

Is byþ ofereald, ungemetum slidor,
glisnaþ glæshluttur gimmum gelicust,
flor forste geworuht, fæger ansyne.



     Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery;
     it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems;
     it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon.

Norwegian

Ís ko,llum brú bræiða;
blindan þarf at læiða.



     Ice we call the broad bridge;
     the blind man must be led.

Icelandic

Íss er árbörkr

ok unnar þak
ok feigra manna fár.
glacies jöfurr.



     Ice

     bark of rivers
     and roof of the wave
     and destruction of the doomed.
