L m n  einnig p,		l m n o and also p

R s t  v eru ar nst,		r s t u v are next
x  z   .
Allt stafrfi er svo lst,	The whole alphabet is then locked
 erindi essi ltil tv.	in those two verses.

Note 1:  Many skip the j in verse 1 line 2, but saying it fast
makes things work!

Note 2: Not all the Icelandic letters are in there, and the letters
c and q (and w) don't occur in any words of Icelandic origin.  But
the placement of the other Icelandic letters is so "immediate" from
this that this suffices, and the letters cqw are usually included,
since these are so common in a well known major language, spoken on
an island south of Iceland (UK).
