Right, I agree that's what it means. I mean the whole name is Sindarin, and the point I was making is that the explanation above is in a Quenya context. In other words, is -ion also a genitive in Sindarin?

Technically the genitive in Sindarin wasn't really addressed, even though it would not change my mind about Inglorion.
