Does anyone know what Aiya Earendil elenion ancalama means? I don`t, but I say it often.

Lady Snickerdoodle · 06-30-2004, 07:14 PM

I don't exactly know, because I am only halfway through elvish lessons, but the first two words are "Hail Earendil" and "ancalima" is "great light-giver" so it's praising the star.

"Aiya Eärendil elenion ancalima!" means "Hail Eärendil brightest of the stars!"

I am also half way through my elvish lessons at councilofelrond.com. Where are you taking them, Lady Snickerdoodle?

Has anyone used, "Aiya Elenion Ancalima!" when using a flashlight?

No but if I see a nasty spider, I shout "Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima" and drop a heavy book on it. Yeah, not so courteous but I'm afraid of those eight-legged creatures.

Another my all-time favourite is very useful when dealing with kids. "Show them no mercy for you shall receive none!"
Then there's of course "Who enters my domain?" when someone enters my room.

I've used "Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalime" before. Usually it accompanies a banging of a flashlight on a tree or some other appropriate surface.

Another one I use is "Get thee gone and take thy due place" to get people to leave me alone. It usually works, most likely because of the middle-late english pronouns.

Ah, middle-late english pronouns. Those little buggers have gotten me out of some pretty tight spaces.
