Woops, looks as if it's my turn.
Which sword went from flame to death when reforged? Cryptic, but it makes sense when you see it. |

Anglachel/Gurthang.
Anglachel meaning 'Iron-flame' and Gurthang meaning 'Death-Iron'.

Tell me, do you cook as fast as you answer? You would dirty many a saucepan during a long day!
Correct, o'course. [ May 06, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ] |

Hence the title, The Name Game. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
And it's Sindarin for warrior. |

Not really.
From what I've discerned, it's more of a rank than anything else. Seems odd that it's used as a name. |

All that I found about him was:
Ohtar, The squire of Isildur: The squire of Isildur. One of only three survivors of the Disaster of the Gladden Fields, Ohtar rescued the shards of Elendil's sword, Narsil, and brought them safely back into the North.

Oops! I'd forgotten about this one.
Well, I think that Beren has it, since it does mean "warrior". In the footnotes to Disaster at Gladden Fields in UT, it is noted that ohtar, meaning "warrior soldier", was the title of all who, though formally trained and experienced, had not yet been admitted to the rank of roquen, "knight".

Aha, that's a good question. I'll make sure to talk to lindil about that in the CGtME.
What was the hollow-dwelving? |

I am only guessing here....But I think the hollow-dwelving has something to do with hobbits, or hole-dwellers as they also were called. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Maybe the hollow-dwelving was their houses or something like that....or maybe I am completly wrong..

I would guess Moria, as 'dwelving' generally refers to dwarf "architecture". But I couldn't find anything anywhere that confirmed my guess...

Your both wrong (at least, I'm pretty sure you are, I can't remember what the answer is at the moment, I'll have to find it again. But neither of those answers are correct)

Oh that's very reassuring, Beren. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
My next guess is Menegroth.

Well screw, no wonder I couldn't find it, I spelled it wrong.
How about "Hollow dwelling" |

Are you sure you didn't spell it right the first time? Because then I'd say Nogrod (meaning dwarf dwelling, actually) or Novrod, the original elvish spelling of it, a Dwarf City from way back when...
If it is still 'hollow dwelling', I'll say Novbar or Novmar. That is the name in elvish meaning 'hollow dwelling', though I don't remember it ever being used...eh? I'm confused. Of course, it is Beren... [ June 05, 2003: Message edited by: Durelin ] |

Nogrod actually does mean "Hollow dwelling", at least according to The Silm.
Your turn Durelin! |

Oops! I just realized I screwed up...I need help, seriously...
Just forget that one thing, sorry...here's the REAL thing, if you know what I mean... This name is a bit repetitive in my mind. It means 'what the sun is'- sun I didn't want to just give the meaning...I like to make it hard...so if you need a clue, I'll stop my nasty ways of confusing people, or I'll just give you a plain clue. Right... |

OK folks, I have noticed that this game has veered away from its original rules:
