Think inspiration

Inspiration, huh?
Well, in the hope of reviving this thread, I'll guess the Window on the West. Where Sam was inspired to... to... Aha, he was inspired to reveal himself and Frodo to Faramir, like Gwindor revealed himself to Beleg... uh, Turin.
I don't know.

Ahh... that was a long time... it's a miracle I still remember what I had in mind...

Anyway, no.

But I will give you a hint. Think names. Want another hint? That previous hint was rather big.

Names... names...

(muses to self) Gwindor sang a song for Beleg at Eithel Ivrin, and named it after Belthronding... he also told Turin his own name while they were there. Sam made up a couple of songs too, one at the trolls on the way to Rivendell, and one in the Tower in Mordor...

Argh. Am I on the right track at all? Another possibility is this thread expired?

Well, you are getting closer. Kind of.

But no songs. Just names. Names are important, not so much the object they are given to, or things connected to that. But names. Let's take Eithel Ivrin. Can you think of another name similar to that?

No.

Let's see. Places have names, people have names, things have names. And sometimes, the name of one might inspire a name for another.
