Lindolirian 05-25-2002 12:11 PM

Well both of you are correct but, Lomelindi was more correct and got it first. Poor Dior went above and beyond but took him too long... Your go Lomelindi.

Lómelindi 05-25-2002 03:30 PM

Joy 05-30-2002 10:39 PM

What is the common name for 'Baraz'?

Joy 06-04-2002 08:47 PM

Anyone have a clue??? Or do I need to give a hint.

Lómelindi 06-04-2002 09:18 PM

Redhorn is the common name of "Baraz," which in itself is short for "Barazinbar," the Dwarvish name for Caradhas.

Lómelindi 06-05-2002 07:31 PM

Is that right?

Joy 06-05-2002 08:25 PM

Very good Lómelindi! Your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lómelindi 06-05-2002 08:41 PM

What is the common name of Uruktharbum?

(I'll give you a hint: it's Dwarvish, and it was later replaced by another Dwarvish name for the same place.)

Mat_Heathertoes 06-06-2002 08:49 AM

That would a possible early Khuzdul word for Moria, as we all know it was replaced by Khazad-dûm

HoME VI Return of the Shadow p458

Lómelindi 06-06-2002 04:47 PM

Correct! Go Dwarves.

Lindolirian 06-28-2002 10:36 AM

Mat hasn't replied and I love this thread, so I'll just keep it going with another question.
Where is Dor-Winion?

BTW I have figured out where it is, I DO know the answer, i'm not just asking.

Lómelindi 06-28-2002 11:51 AM

I think this is close…
Dorwinion is a little-known land in the vales of the River Running (very well renowned for its gardens and vineyards).

Lindolirian 06-29-2002 01:28 PM

Yes, its kinda sandwiched between Celduin and the Sea of Rhun.

Lómelindi 06-29-2002 08:55 PM

What land was created (or rather, renamed) after the Dagor Bragollach?
