Olórin was not a Vala. Maybe you meant Valinorian?

Valarin is a language, not an adjective that refers to the Valar in particular. It was certainly spoken by the Maiar (of which Olórin was one) as well. I was mistaken in that the name Olórin is rooted in Quenya, not Valarin. I simply meant (though I should certainly have phrased it differently) that "Olórin" is the name used in Silm for the person known in LoTR (primarily) as Gandalf.
