Incanus? (not sure what it means [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )

Rochelle · 03-26-2003, 08:43 PM

Incánus meaning roughly "north-spy"

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-26-2003, 08:49 PM

Correct Rochelle. You are the first to get both name and meaning. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Incanus is said to have been the name given to Gandalf by the Haradrim, meaning "North-spy". But there is another explanation, too. Apparently, it is also said to mean "Mind-ruler" in Quenya.

Rochelle · 03-26-2003, 09:23 PM

Oh good [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Let's see here...

What was the name of the great ship built by Aldarion, also know as the Far-Wanderer?

anyone????

Beren87 · 04-07-2003, 08:33 PM

That's the epithet [or title] of Idril, it means Silverfoot.

Faenaduial · 04-07-2003, 08:35 PM

Celebrindal means Silverfoot. She was Idril the daughter of Turgon and Elenwe. Married Tuor.

Faenaduial · 04-07-2003, 08:36 PM

Rats. Beren87 bet me to it. I need to type faster.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-07-2003, 09:13 PM

So close but Beren beat you so its his up.

What about Eonwe, Tilion, Arien, and Ilmare? (and I don't suppose Sauron counts either, that's not his real name, though he was originally from Aule's people, wasn't he?)

[ April 08, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

Beren87 · 04-08-2003, 05:20 AM

Sophia, I have to say something. I'm a great fool. I just saw she has the first couple and told her she was right, but she's not completely right.

It's Sophia's turn, sorry about that.

The 8 listed [named] Maiar: Ilmarë, Ossë, Eonwë, Uinen, Melian, Olorin, Arien and Tilion.

Now the Istari are not said [directly] to be Maiar, they only may be [but are presumed to be].

And Sauron was indeed one of the Maiar of Aulë, but his "Maiar name" is never given.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-08-2003, 12:22 PM

Lol!ok, here goes a question...

What was Gabilgathol? (language, meaning, common name...)

Eruanna · 04-08-2003, 02:39 PM

Gabilgathol (Dwarvish) meaning Great Fortress also known as Belegost or Mickleburg. One of the strongholds of the Dwarves, in the Blue Mountains.

Whatwas the meaning of Lanthir Lamath and why is it sugnificnt?

Eruanna · 04-10-2003, 10:05 AM

It means Waterfall of Echoing Voices, Dior lived nearby and named his daughter Elwing (Star-Spray) for it.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-10-2003, 07:13 PM

correct

Eruanna · 04-11-2003, 01:21 PM

What is Gil-Estel? ( language/meaning/other name )

alaklondewen · 04-11-2003, 03:17 PM

Okay, I'm going to try this...

Sindarin/Gil - 'spark'; Estel - 'hope', so 'sparkling hope'?/My guess would be Aragorn.

Eruanna · 04-11-2003, 04:20 PM

Nearly.....not exactly and it's not Aragorn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 04-11-2003, 05:08 PM

Gilestel star of hope(quenya)Earindel's name when bearing the simaril in Vingolant.

Eruanna · 04-11-2003, 05:22 PM

elven maiden Earwen · 04-11-2003, 05:24 PM

What is 'Eärrámë? ( meaning/other name or what is it)

[ April 11, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-11-2003, 05:29 PM

Earrame (I'm too lazy to go get the accent marks) means Sea-Wing. It was the name of the ship in which Idril and Tuor went west.

-Sophia

Eruanna · 04-11-2003, 05:31 PM

It means Sea Wing and was the name of Tuor's ship, in which he and Idril Celebrindal sailed into the West.

Darn it....too slow!
