English translation:Misspelled word
Explanation:
This word is misspelled and therefore the meaning is distorted. It could refer to on one's own power. I would guess that's what it means. Literally they are most likely saying "on one's own wings". Since the word is badly misspelled it's pretty hard to tell, however. I hope this helps.

Well. There you have it then. On her wings. Without greater context I couldn't tell. I thought they were referring to sjálf and misspelled the word.
