Thanks for all your answers

Ohtatyaro- I though the Quenya word "Ohtar" meant "Warrior" (like the mention of Ohtar in LotR) Correct me if I'm wrong
I think we are both right. I mean, it is variation of the same stem, after all. I looked it up in Etymologies:

Q ohta war
Q tyaro doer, actor

ohta+tyaro=ohtatyaro | war+doer=wardoer~warrior

I mean, probably, ohtar is more like 'of war', with the same translation as 'war doer'
