What is the reason for your nickname ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Actually, this one is to Durelen. I was reading this one from the start, before I realized it was so old.

I am no expert in Quenya, but with a little help from the Quenya dictionary (made by the Grey Company, and downloadable at Tel'Mithrim - Language Resources
I translated 'Durelen' as 'Believer of Stars' or 'Faith in Stars'. Possibly also 'Believe what You See', or 'Seeing is Believing'. Something like that.

BTW, my nickname is from the elven name generator here at the downs. It doesn't have any coherent meaning, as far as I know.
