Rumil has been trapped in the Barrow!

Hi all,

Legate, seems like you're going well with the adventure now! I'd certainly like to read your site if it was translated, I guess the online translation tools would be horribly inaccurate but probably unintentionally hillarious.

Lommy, I do like the idea of a 'names in translation' thread, and it would be great for posters to say what sort of image or vibe a word brings to mind, an obvious example being Mordor, which conjures up thoughts of death -mort, mortuary, murder etc. Sadly I have no language skills to be able to contribute much. Do you know offhand if the name translations were made, vetted, approved or disapproved of by Tolkien?

Cheers

Rumil
