A riddle in Norn

Norn was the language spoken in The Shetland and Orkney Islands north of Scotland. A Viking language related to Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese. Never spoken by more than a thousand people at it's height Norn died out in the late 19th century leaving a few written examples.

a) A riddle in Norn;
"Fira honga, fira gonga,
Fira staad upo "skø"
Twa veestra vaig a bee
And een comes atta driljandi."

b) English translation;
"Four hang, four walk,
Four stand skyward,
Two show the way to the field
And one comes shaking behind."

(The answer to the riddle is; A cow, the four refers to the udder and legs, two refers to the horns and the one is the tail)
