Resident Linguist? Me?!?

Well, you do seem far more adept at naming than me... heck, I pulled "Kathaani" off the name generator and then translated it. I was lucky that I got something that actually translated.

Folks,

This game is looking more and more historical-- a very good thing, and also a very time-consuming thing. After some soul-searching and a hectic week I'm realizing I can't do this game justice over the next two months. I've discussed it with Sophia, and I feel it's wise to extend my regrets now rather than later... I wish it were otherwise. This is shaping up as a great game.

Once again, regrets, and all the best. I wish I didn't have time constraints. Enjoy the game!

After careful consideration I have decided that the Elvish equivalent to my Aduniac name will be Quenyan rather than Sindarin. I have looked on the name sight and selected Elenfairë for my first name, elen meaning star and fairë meaning spirit, hence "star spirit'. For my last name I have chosen Ostovaivar, Osto meaning seven and vaivar meaning winds, hence "seven winds". My Adunaic first name will be Azarmanô, azar meaning star and manô meaning spirit and my last name will be Hazadbawîba, hazad meaning seven and bawîba meaning winds.

Therefore my two names will be Azarmanô Hazadbawîba in Adunaic and Elenfairë Ostovaivar in Quenyan. I'm sorry that Mark12_30 won't be playing with us. Thanks to all people who provided assistance in forming my names.

I like the idea that the rescuers stayed in Andunie because they have hope that Amandil will succeed in his mission, and want to stay in the west to witness what happens. I think they should definitely be in contact with the faithful in the east though. Perhaps a messenger should ride to them and inform them that Elendil is nearly ready to put out to sea, with or without them. This would force them to hurry to rescue Abarpanaru and join with Elendil before its too late.

Just a note:

I will be away from home (and a computer) for Thursday - Saturday. I will try to get my Bio and Post done by Monday.

Have fun on your trip, Himaran. I like your pt, by the way. I hadn't seen it before.

I too will not be around an awful lot for the next three or four days. Push has come to shove on the paper I was talking about, so until the first of Feb. I won't have an awful lot of time for planning. But things will lighten up a lot for me after that, so if you guys want to finish up your bios we can put the final proposal together and get that much closer to starting the game.
