Many Thanks for your help - this is of value to me - I want to practice writing in the Old language but may presently want to learn the Modern form also

Perhaps the most straightforward way would be:

Ek em einbúi, en eigi einmani.

In Modern Iceland, we would say:

Ég er einbúi, en ekki einmana.

Or simply:

Ég bý ein, en er ekki einmana.
