SKVR textEnglish
Kiven tekemä haava paranee, kuin toisella kivellä painaa haavaa ja puhelee ja lukee:
1Kivi Kimmen, Kammen poika,Stone Kimmen, Kammi's son,
2Muan mura, pellon kakkara,Earth's crumb, field's clod,
3Miksi teit ihoh pahoa,Why did you harm the skin,
4Karvahan emon kapehen,[You] made the hairy mother frail,
5Emontuoman ruumihihin?Into the mother-given body?
Sitten paranee.
