Good attempt, Keth. Two things that need to be
improved on: 1. The pronoun should be in nominative
(like 'sú' in the example from Njála) and 2. The
word 'höfðingi' has a 'j' inserted in the oblique
cases (i.e. the 'g' is always palatilized).

"Hvar er ormr sá er þér kallið höfðingja?"

The other suggestion:

"Hvar er ormrinn er þér kallið höfðingja?"

is also valid but it sounds better the other way :-)

"The worm that" is better expressed by "ormr sá er"
than with "ormrinn er" but I'm afraid that the latter
form will be more familiar to those who have broken
through our six completed lessons.
