I like Kittle's answer; indeed, someone might have called it that. But not the men of Gondor. Let's do two steps. Does ayone know what Nan Curunir was? </p> |

As far as I know, it is Old English, so it most probably just is a translation of its real name in the language of the Rohirrim. The meaning of Edoras is nothing but "houses (used for living)". </p> |

I'll give this one two days for someone to either answer it, or for Galpsi to give it to us. This is the largest thread in the Quiz Room, and I think it's about time for it to throw in the towel. 143 replies!! Yeah, it's that time.

Okay, then we can keep this one going and it is Sir Wight's turn to ask! We'll say that after Ron's question is answered correctly and wrapped up, this thread will be done. So, unless I get a whole lot of complaints <img src=ohwell.gif ALT=":/"> , this will be the last question for this thread. Make it a good one!
