If your proximity query only involves single words, use the basic syntax:
"{15} 77. gr. ævilangt -ökuleyfi"
If it involves quoted strings, then use the alternate syntax, where each word involved in the proximity range should be quoted:
{15} "77. gr." "ævilangt" -"ökuleyfi"
Note that any unquoted word terminates the sequence of words / quoted strings that are involved in the proximity search, so:
{15} "77. gr." "ævilangt" -"ökuleyfi" foo
would find [foo] anywhere in the document.
Also note that punctuations are ignored (unless when using [includes the exact string], for example as a secondary criterion), so these examples should also find [77 gr] or [77-gr]
