Wouldn't it be "Hvar er orminn, er þér kallið ...?" (I'm not sure what
the word for 'master' is.)

Attempt at construction by using the examples:

I think c. LI, 8 offers a good starting point,
because if you replace "mannfýla" (f.) by "ormr" (m.)
you shall have the question:
"Hvar er ormr þann er þér kallið ho,fðinga?"
???
-----------------------------------------
What I am especially uncertain about here, is the insertion
"þann er". I modeled it, as you can see, after "sú er"
in the example from Njáls saga, but changed from sú
to þann, which is Acc. masc. instead of Nom. fem.
I am not quite sure if that is the way it is done.
I hope Haukr will point out errors, and if he has time,
perhaps give some hints on the uses of "sá er" - and
also his view about the meaning of the word "er"
in this context would be interesting to hear!
