No tree though. Couldn't get Huorn to work as well as Huan. And GB not same as two Englands.

I've been playing around with Helm's Deep, on the premise that elm is a tree, there are a couple letters that could be used as notes, and maybe double E in deep is two Englands. But even if you stretch it this way, there are still extra bits. And no setter.

Setter - what's a setter? Just a dog? Someone who sets? Who or what is known for setting something? It makes no sense right now.
