Yes, Esty! You do indeed-- naturally, davem is dq'ed despite his dizzying didactics-- pending pronouncement of his personal title.

Of course you COULD ask the quiz question, What Should Davem's Personal Title Be...

Thumbs up

There does seem to be a rush to this thread.... May I offer hearty congratulations to the learned but reluctant Illustrious Ulairi!!

Imladris has just left Hobbiton.

But, forgive my ignorance, what is an Ulairi?

Congratulations, davem! Though I'm not quite sure what it means, it's a lovely title.

davem is battling Black Riders on Weathertop.davem is battling Black Riders on Weathertop.
From Encyclopedia of Arda:

Quote:
Úlairi
A name for the Ringwraiths

The rarely used Elvish name for the creatures of darkness more commonly called Nazgűl or Ringwraiths.
ARRGGHH!! being a lousy Elvish scholar I now think it should be 'Illustrious Ulair' - isn't Ulairi the plural? Let me know somebody, & I'll get Esty to amend it.

See what happens when you try & show off

1420!

According to the Quenya to English wordlists from the Ardalambion site, the singular is possibly:

Úlairë or Úlair

Congrats to you!

I knew that davem of all people would not hold out against our 'canon' rules concerning Personal Titles for long, although I did enjoy his nonconformity for however brief it was.

And right, HI a dark and winding one it is.

I cannot say which I enjoy more: the thought of davem being an iconoclast, or his new title. It trips lightly and lyrically off the tongue, davem. Nicely done indeed.

*goes off to delete that post from Bilbo S. Thompson on the news entry in response to Fordim's scrum*

Well I guess PEDANT will now have to be disbanded .... a short lived but effective NGO ......... And I thought it might be a second Jarndyce v. Jarndyce and Jarndyce....
