A different type of name game

[Bullroarer]

O.K.

This is hard to explain.

First you type in the meaning of the word and a different person has to tell the Elvish (Quenta or Sindarin) name of it. Then the get the honor of doing the next one.

Example:

Lover of the sea
-----------------------------------------------
Next post would say:

Earendil
-----------------------------------------------
Ok lets start

Maiden crowned with a radiant garland

[Eruve]

or just plain

Lord of the Trees (And it isn't Treebeard. ;) )


Great game, btw!

[Bullroarer]

I'd start it at my board if I had enough posts.

Aldaron, Orome, etc.




Silver Tree

[Eruve]

Celeborn


Old spider

[IronParrot]

Shelob

Star-kindler

[Eruve]

Try agai, IP, it's not Shelob. Shelob isn't Elvish!

[IronParrot]

Oops. (*slaps himself silly*)

[Bullroarer]

I can't figure it out!?!?!
WHAT IS IT?!?!?!?!

[anduin]

Bullroarer...Lord of the Trees can also be Aragorn....if you're curious. :)

ar(a)=high, noble, royal
g-augmentive prefix
orn=tree

The only thing I can come up for "Old Spider" is Ungoliar. Is that right?

[Bullroarer]

I'm guessing Ungoliant, but that means Great Spider or Dark or whatever.

Ah what the heck.


UNGOLIANT!!!!!!!!!!

[Eruve]

it's Ungoliant! Ungol=spider (as in Cirith Ungol; I know this is translated as Shelob's lair somewhere, but it really means "spider pass")

Actually, I just looked up the elements in Sil. and I realized "iant" means bridge, not old, as I had always thought! Looks like I got the elements of Iant Iaur mixed up a long time ago and it just stuck in my head that way! I'd always had it in my head that Ungoliant meant "old spider". Sorry about that; no wonder everyone was confused. As etherealunicorn would say, another brain fart. It seems to get gassier up there as I get older.

So what's next?

[Bullroarer]

Star-Kindler

[anduin]

Gilthoniel



Land of Stone

[Bullroarer]

Gondor

Star Dome

[Eruve]

Elrond

Snow point

[bmilder]

(right?)

Annatar.

[anduin]

What is "Lord of the Gifts"?


Graycloak

[Fat middle]

Thingol (Sindarin) or Singollo (Quenya)


Hell

[Bullroarer]

Angband




Sharp-Glance

[Fat middle]

not correct, AFAIK, Bullroarer!

[Eruve]

I think Angband was referred to as hell at one point and it's name is translated as iron prison or hell of iron in the index to Sil... So that's not so far off. I think FM was going for Utumno.

Sharp Glance is Maeglin.

Next: Blood stained

[Fat middle]

yep, i was referring to Udûn, that is the Sindarin word for Utumno. I know that somewhere it´s translated as "hell".

BTW, i think that Maeglin means also "son of the twilight", but i can be wrong.

[anduin]

Agarwaen



The Great Echo

[Eruve]

Lammoth


constrainer

[Bullroarer]

can Mesa givva ussa little hinta?

[Eruve]

Is it easier if I write it like this: the Constrainer?

[Bullroarer]

Yeah, real helpful.


I give up. Anyone else?

[Fat middle]

i give up too :(

[Eruve]

It's in Sil and it's used as part of a personal name.

[Fat middle]

ahaha! Bauglir, as in Melkor Bauglir :D

there´s nothing like a good search engine when your forces are come to an end :p


now, an easy one valiant

[Eruve]

Yay, Fat Middle! What do you mean valiant is easy?

[anduin]

Astaldo---A name of Tulkas

[Eruve]

Didn't know that one for Tulkas!

Brithiach

[anduin]

Irmo




Gatestream

[Bullroarer]

Sirannon



Mountains of Tyranny

[Eruve]

Thangorodrim


Warrior

[Fat middle]

nope, i don't know that. i'm just retaking this thread because of this sentence of Eruve Ungol=spider (as in Cirith Ungol; I know this is translated as Shelob's lair somewhere, but it really means "spider pass")
it has been bugging in my head from the time i read it. Today i've seen what i was looking for: Torech Ungol, that is Shelob's Lair. Cirith Ungol is as you said Pass of the Spider.

It is at the begining of the Shelob's Lair chapter :p

and now: Warrior...

[Eruve]

I'll give you a hint. It's the personal name of a very minor character, one who brought some bad news to a woman.

[anduin]

Nope, I'm still at a loss.

[Eruve]

Another hint: the person is mentioned in connection with an event very early in the Third Age.

[anduin]

Ohtar.....man, that was a toughy. ;)



Skinbark

[dunedain lady]

Fladrif


leaflock

[Eruve]

Good for you, anduin!! Unfortunately "leaf lock" doesn't ring a bell.

[bmilder]

Finglas.

The Renewer

[noldo]

I'm not sure... Is it Envinyatar?

If so (I'm not so sure about this either):

Yup.
