The verb vega has an interesting past tense, similar to vefa (to weave).
Note that heilsast is impersonal and takes the dative – barni gives a clue 🙂
Að minnsta kosti tvö börn fæddust á landsbyggðinni á ellefta og tólfta tímanum í gærkvöld en samkvæmt upplýsingum fréttastofu fæddist fyrsta barn ársins rétt fyrir klukkan fjögur í nótt í Reykjavík.
At least two babies were born in the country around 11 and 12 last night, but according to news sources the first baby of the year was born just before 4am in Reykjavik.
