Elvish turtle?!...

Mine came from my obsession and not-so-alter-ego of a turtle. All of my friends and even people who don't know me well assosiate turtles with me for various reasons. I was bored and decided there should be an elvish word for turtle, there is not so I decided when trying to come up with a screenname to define turtle in elvish. So I translated "Home carrying animal", one simple to translate definition of a turtle, into Quenya-Már colië Lamen other than the fact that Lamen would technically not include reptiles. It sounded best this way though and looked better as Márcolië Lamen so I decided upon that.
