There's Anduril, of course, (previously called Narsil), but I don't know if the term epesse is used of swords - and I can't account for the "uri" element.

I don't know if it can be used of eagles either.

But in any case Landroval (even if that was a nickname) doesn't have the word "land" in disarray - quite the opposite.

I would take that advice - I just don't know that many epesses.

EDIT:

I wonder if AMANDIL might work - because there was also a Tar-Amandil, so Tar could be left off. And there is land jumbled up, but I don't know what to do with the "ami" letters.
