Dagnir Glaurunga = Bane of Glaurung. The Elvish form of the title given to the hero Turin, after he slew the Dragon Glaurung. It is carved on his tomb.

Very good, Tolkien only mentioned the name once I believe, so I thought this would be quite hard, but apparently I was wrong.

Anyway, you're next.

What is the Elvish (Sindarin) name for the Valley of Saruman?

Hmm...Oh yes, I meant, what was the early Sindarin name? Before it was chaged to Nogrod.
