Did it make(in a way) hatred between two races?

Evisse the Blue · 06-22-2005, 04:13 AM

Is it a royal term of derision? -Not Stormcrow

Did he get three gifts, an elvish knife being the least of them? - Not Sador

Did it make(in a way) hatred between two races? Not Scatha

Hookbill, what's your answer?..

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-22-2005, 09:54 AM

My answer was Sheen. A title given to the Moon by the Vanyar, the Light Elves of Valinor, at the time of its creation. The name is a translation of Elvish Isil.

Letter please!

Evisse the Blue · 06-22-2005, 10:13 AM

Next letter = U.

Arestevana · 06-22-2005, 11:02 AM

Is it the destination of six thousand spears?

Gil-Galad · 06-22-2005, 11:17 AM

Is it Elvish for Vladimir?

NightKnight · 06-22-2005, 04:06 PM

Is it Shiny?

Evisse the Blue · 06-23-2005, 01:30 PM

It's not Sunlending, it's not the Sun.

Gil Galad, I have no idea about your question. Do you mean the equivalent of Vladimir on one of those Elvish name generators? Do you mean a possible Elvish name made up from 'volod' meaning to rule and 'mir' meaning peace? Either way, I'm at a loss....

Gil-Galad · 06-23-2005, 02:32 PM

err...to be honest i'm confused myself... but yea i'm pretty sure its the name generator...

Vladimir in elvish is Surutar

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-23-2005, 09:24 PM

In that case, it is not a literal translation, and would not be counted . . .

. . . I think. Could anyone rule on this? Sauce?

Gil-Galad · 06-24-2005, 10:03 AM

bah i hate making big fusses over these stupid things, just let it pass and i'll post again in a week seesh...

The answers must be from Tolkien's works. Answers from name generators do not count. Otherwise, we might as well start allowing names from fan fics etc, which would make the question-setter's job impossible.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-25-2005, 11:55 AM

Is it that which came third in Gondor?

Orominuialwen · 06-25-2005, 07:40 PM

Is it a body of water?

Evisse the Blue · 06-26-2005, 11:29 AM

It's not Surion and not the Sundering Seas.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-26-2005, 12:15 PM

Is it that which came third in Gondor?

Orominuialwen · 06-26-2005, 01:53 PM

Is it a non-existant month?

Evisse the Blue · 06-27-2005, 03:52 PM

Orominuialwen has it, it's Summerfilth.

Your thread.

Orominuialwen · 06-27-2005, 04:23 PM

Okay, The first letter is E.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-27-2005, 11:52 PM

Is it he who is called 'star-brow'?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-28-2005, 02:26 AM

Is it one who hears far with someone?

Arestevana · 06-28-2005, 07:30 AM

Is it one whose son was part of the Fellowship?

Gil-Galad · 06-28-2005, 10:57 AM

Is it Lonely yet not alone anymore?

Orominuialwen · 06-28-2005, 11:16 AM

It's not Elessar, Esmeralda Took, or Erebor. Nilp, I have no idea what yours could be be. Tell me your answer and I'll give you the next letter.

Gil-Galad · 06-28-2005, 11:22 AM

Should wait for Nilp's anwser...

NightKnight · 06-28-2005, 01:57 PM

My guess would be Elbereth.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-28-2005, 10:15 PM

My answer is Elentári, or Varda, who hears the farthest when Manwë is with him.

Orominuialwen · 06-29-2005, 11:05 AM

Thanks. I probably should have gotten that if I'd thought a little more clearly, but oh well.

Next letter is R.

paavo · 06-29-2005, 11:21 AM

Could it be mistaken for a being of great power?

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-29-2005, 11:24 AM

Is it heir to the first of the throne holders?

Orominuialwen · 06-29-2005, 11:34 AM

It's not Erui or Ereinion.

Arestevana · 06-29-2005, 06:19 PM

Is it the kings' land?

Orominuialwen · 06-29-2005, 07:59 PM

It's not Eriador.

Arestevana · 06-30-2005, 09:09 AM

Is it one who counseled a ring-bearer?

Orominuialwen · 06-30-2005, 11:06 AM

It's not Erestor.

Gil-Galad · 06-30-2005, 11:55 AM

Is it the land of the last?

Arestevana · 07-01-2005, 08:18 AM

Is it both Eldar and Edain?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-01-2005, 09:33 PM

Is it the dead that lived?

Orominuialwen · 07-06-2005, 04:21 PM

It's not Eressëa or Erech.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what yours could be, Arestevana. Answer please!

Arestevana · 07-07-2005, 12:51 PM

That would be 'Erusen', the "children of Eru" for whom Arda was prepared.
