This is interesting. We both are or we all are as sorry as each other in equal measure? I was trying to think when this would be used, maybe as a form of condolence.
It only appears twice in the OE corpus. In one context it seems to mean ‘equally sorrowful’ or ‘just as sorrowful’ as someone. In the other context it means ‘compassionate’ or ‘sympathetic’ with someone in grief. It is also spelled efen-sārig.
