Imric - why don't you go ahead. It's always nice to get more people in on our game... and besides, I also just won the 'right / duty' to ask a question in another thread.

Well, Imric didn't take me up on the offer, so:
When the Numenoreans borrowed the "week" from the Elves, what two changes did they make to it? (HINT: one was very significant, one was minor) |

The other change was that the days were marked from Sunrise to Sunrise and out of the East, as opposed to Sunset to Sunset out of the West... Right?

Do you remember what the seventh day was named for? Also, I was thinking of another minor one - it has to do with tweaking on the meaning of one day... remember it? I wasn't thinking of the sunrise/sunset thing - very good! |

Because the Numenoreans were great mariners, they inserted the "Sea Day" (I guess it's actually the 6th in their order - or Thursday - but was between the Elves' 5th & 6th). Their Tuesday or "Tree's Day" referred to the One White Tree (of Numenor) rather than the Two Trees of Valinor - as the Elves' Tuesday did. Now you may go...  |

Nain?
(that was a total guess without checking the charts... I remember he's in an offshoot of the line of heirs, so I figure gr-gr-gramps was probably a king, and those dwarves just repeated the same names so much!!! ) |

Yep, Gimli son of Gloin son of Groin son of Farin son or Borin.
Yer up (And I checked too, RobRoy seems to have stumped the panel over at SF-Fandom. Our rules require two days to pass before looking something up, so it hasn't been answered yet)
