  Hi
  Just picked up on this one

  bernardcornwell.net

  ‘Wyrd’ is ‘fate’ or ‘chance’ or destiny – bid – our ‘be’, ful is an intensifier (like our word full) and araed is a bit more difficult – it carries the meaning of determined or resolute, but intensify it with ful and you end up with something like Fate is Inexorable or unstoppable. It’s from an Anglo Saxon poem called The Wanderer and one translation I have renders it ‘Fate is relentless’. I’ve always liked it!
