Those German things are (sorry to say
) awfully funny-sounding. In my opinion the language fits the hobbits' names very well (though now I'm imagining hobbits eating sausage day and night ) as it does the old human-ish names, but on the other hand the ones that have something to do with Elves don't sound very fitting. And the word for Barrow-downs is just terrible... ![]() Adding some Finnish ones... Thorin Oakenshield - Thorin Tammikilpi Lobelia Sackville-Baggins - Lobelia Säkinheimo-Reppuli Sharkey - Sarkku (I like this translation - it definitely resembles the orcish(?) word sharkû) Witch-King - Noitakuningas (this word always sends a chill down my spine, don't know why) Legolas Greenleaf - Legolas Viherlehti Bullroarer - Härkäräikkä Brown Lands - Ruskeat maat Bywater - Virranvarsi Deadmen's Dike (love that name in English, by the way) - Kuolleenmiehen kaivanto Grey Havens - Harmaat Satamat Michel Delving - Järin Möyremä Mirrormere - Kuvastaja Paths of the Dead - Kuolleiden kulkutiet Prancing Pony - Pomppiva Poni (="bouncing pony") Wellinghall - Lähteensali Dwarf - kääpiö (like Nogrod said) Easterling - itäläinen Elf - haltia Halfling - puolituinen Oliphaunt - olifantti Petty Dwarf - vähäkääpiö (="minor dwarf") Ringwraith - sormusaave (sormus = ring, aave = ghost, wraith) Southron - eteläinen Wizard - velho Wose - metsäläinen (= "woodling"/"forestling") Quote:
