Beren87 · 05-06-2003, 07:21 PM

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.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-06-2003, 07:26 PM

Anglachel/Gurthang.

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

Beren87 · 05-06-2003, 07:32 PM

Tell me, do you cook as fast as you answer? You would dirty many a saucepan during a long day!

Correct, o'course.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-06-2003, 07:37 PM

Cook? Me? Never! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Answer ME-related questions? Now, you're talkin'. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What was an Ohtar?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-06-2003, 08:02 PM

A man. The squire of Isildur who survived the Disaster of the Gladden Fields.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-07-2003, 05:58 PM

Ah yes, but I'm looking for the meaning of the name ... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 05-07-2003, 06:47 PM

Hence the title, The Name Game. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And it's Sindarin for warrior.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-07-2003, 07:30 PM

Can you give me a bit more? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 05-07-2003, 07:40 PM

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.

Arwen Imladris · 05-13-2003, 02:06 PM

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.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-13-2003, 06:46 PM

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".

Beren87 · 05-13-2003, 08:58 PM

Aha, that's a good question. I'll make sure to talk to lindil about that in the CGtME.

What was the hollow-dwelving?

Orofaniel · 05-22-2003, 03:18 AM

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..

Orofâniel

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-23-2003, 07:21 PM

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

Sophia

Beren87 · 05-24-2003, 12:33 PM

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)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-24-2003, 04:07 PM

Oh that's very reassuring, Beren. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

My next guess is Menegroth.

Beren87 · 05-24-2003, 06:10 PM

I don't think so..

Arwen Imladris · 05-24-2003, 06:49 PM

Do you want to go and check and then give us a hint?

Beren87 · 05-24-2003, 07:20 PM

Well screw, no wonder I couldn't find it, I spelled it wrong.

How about "Hollow dwelling"

Orofaniel · 05-28-2003, 08:24 AM

I think we need a clue...... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 05-28-2003, 05:37 PM

It's a cave-type place.

Durelin · 06-05-2003, 11:05 AM

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 ]

Beren87 · 06-06-2003, 08:16 PM

Nogrod actually does mean "Hollow dwelling", at least according to The Silm.

Your turn Durelin!

Durelin · 06-08-2003, 12:25 PM

Really? Hmmmm...close enough...

Okay, I'll make it interesting...maybe...

I burn you leaping for joy!

What is my name???

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

A bit strange, but...Beren is on this thread, so I must be careful... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Arwen Imladris · 06-08-2003, 02:09 PM

Ancalagon?
Glaurung?
Scatha?
Smaug?

Durelin · 06-11-2003, 05:09 PM

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...

Arwen Imladris · 06-12-2003, 02:32 PM

Is it Laurelin, the Golden Tree?
Anar?
Anardil?
Anárion?

If not then do you want to give us a hint?

Arwen Imladris · 06-19-2003, 09:15 AM

Perhaps Urulóki?
Malbeth the Seer?

If not then please, another hint!

Arestevana · 06-19-2003, 11:38 AM

Elanor?
El- star
anor- sun
and the sun is a star...

Durelin · 07-04-2003, 09:50 AM

Whoops, I forgot about you people! *ducks* Agh! Don't hurt me!

Anyways, yes, Arestevana, you are correct indeed! Pretty simple, eh? Your turn!

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-04-2003, 06:09 PM

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

Quote:

Okay here's how it works. You give an alternate name for a character and the rest of us half to geuss his more common name such as this easy one. Q:Who is Mithrandir? A: Gandolf the Grey.

Recent questions, however, have been concerned with names in general rather than just names of characters. As such, the thread is too similar to the Names of Middle-Earth thread.

So, please can everyone make sure that all future questions follow the guidance above, so that this thread does not become liable to closure as a duplicate topic.

Manardariel · 08-15-2003, 04:54 AM

This game seems to have walked into the shadow of your minds.

New Question

Who was known as Stick-at-naught?
pretty easy, huh?

Mariska Greenleaf · 08-15-2003, 07:09 AM

Aragorn

Manardariel · 08-16-2003, 03:36 AM

Exactly, ol´Strider himself! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Mariska Greenleaf · 08-27-2003, 01:31 AM

I'm really sorry, I totally forgot about this! Thanks for the PM Saucepan Man.

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Who is also known as "Ernil i Pheriannath"?

easy one...

Arwen Imladris · 08-27-2003, 11:46 AM

It means ‘Prince of the Halflings’ and is reffuring to Peregrin Took.

Mariska Greenleaf · 08-28-2003, 01:17 AM

It is indeed! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Arwen Imladris · 08-28-2003, 07:25 PM

O.K., who's name means 'Rushing Jaws'?

Arwen Imladris · 09-01-2003, 11:09 AM

Need a hint? He/She/it was killed by Eärendil.

Faenaduial · 09-01-2003, 12:31 PM

It was Ancalagon the Black.
