13. Kiempis, _fight each other_,

gaar udi gaarden oc _kiempis_, oc nelegger hver hinanden, goes out in

the house and _fight each the other_, and each knocks down the other.

Such is the translation by Resenius, in modern Danish, of the following

extract from Snorro's _Edda_, p. 34.--Ganga ut i gardinn og _beriast_,

og fellar huor annar. Here the construction is not, _they fell_ (or

knock down) _each the other_, but _each fells the other_; since

_fellar_ and _nelegger_ are singular forms.
