'hvor', as in hvor hjá öðrum 'each with the other'. Treat the whole thing as NP-ADV. This parse is used *only* where *neither* "hvor" or "öðrum" are an argument of the verb *and* "öðrum" is inside a PP.

	    (NP-ADV (NP (Q-N hvor-hvor))
		    (PP (P hjá-hjá)
			(NP (OTHER-D öðrum-annar))))

If *neither* "hvor" or "öðrum" are an argument of the verb but there is no PP involved, then "hvor" and "öðrum" do not project their own NPs.

   (NP-ADV (Q-N hvor-hvor)
	   (OTHER-D öðrum-annar))

However, the above construction can also occur in such a way as to force "hvor" and the other constituent to project their own NPs. This parse is used as a last resort, however.

                                                   (NP-ADV (NP (NP-POS (PRO-A sitt-sinn))
							   (N-A orð-orð))
						       (NP (Q-N hvor-hvor)))

When "(hvor) öðrum" is clearly the object (or "hvor" is ambiguous between being part of the object or a floated quantifier) and "hvor" and "öðrum" appear adjacent, they are grouped together as an NP constituent with the appropriate clause-level argument label, as below. NOTE: This is done regardess of the case-marking of "hvor".

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO-N þeir-hann))
	  (VBDI rituðu-rita)
	  (NP-TMP (NS-D stundum-stundum))
	  (NP-OB1 (Q-N hvor-hvor) (OTHER-D öðrum-annar)))

When "(hvor) öðrum" is clearly the object of a preposition and "hvor" and "öðrum" appear adjacent, they are grouped together as a bare NP:


   (PP (P við) 
       (NP (Q-N hvor-hvor) (OTHER-A annan-annar)))
