After much pondering:

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?..

Ha, ha!



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!

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....

The Eye Name generator?

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

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

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.
