Anglo-Saxon Riddles of the Exeter Book/Annotated/73

73 (k-d 75)

Another one consists of two lines, the first of which says

I saw a swift one     going along the path

Ic swiftne geseah     on swaþe feran · ᛞ ᚾ ᛚ ᚻ ·

and the second consists of four runes: D N L H, which have been interpreted as HæLeND or Savior; or with one emendation, D N U H, i.e., hund, dog. (Note the other one-line riddle, 28 (k-d 76) and also 7 (k-d 68, 69).
