Hey, they've already brought up much worse ideas than that

You have a point there, Rian. Wouldn't want Beren to fall asleep during crucial moments.
Can't see Feanor suffering from that problem.

Quote:

Seldom were the hands and mind of Feanor at rest.

Fall asleep? Be at rest? No-no, but he would be far too busy with his own jewels to fiddle with yours.

Nay, Beleg is the Elf. Great woodsman and hunter, strong and best skilled with his weapon.

I'm always interested in learning more about the Silm. , but found out way more about the posters. You go girls

Quite right.

Where as FeÃ¤nor and Finrod were kicked out of Valinor, Tuor was allowed in!

Quote:

In those days Tuor felt old age creep upon him, and ever a longing for the deeps of the sea grew stronger in his heart. therefore he built a great ship, and he named it EÃ¤rramÃ©, which is Sea-Wing; and with Idril Celebrindal he set sail into the sunset and the West, and came no more into any tale or song. But in after days it was sung that Tuor alone of Mortal Men was numbered among the elder race, and was joined with the Noldor, whom he loved; and his fate is sundered from the fate of Men.

*almost hurts himself from laughing so hard* I nearly fell out of my chair when I read that.

You people need to get your minds out of the gutter.

Bah, what a goody-two-shoes.

Who wants to be there anyway? Place is overrated, with all those elves nancing around.

Hey, my mind was only down there because it was dragged down there.

I think it's close between Fingolfin and Beren. Fingolfin because he's my current favorite elf king, and Beren because he's the only man in the Silmarillion to marry the most beautiful elf in Middle Earth and beyond.

***azalea*** · 01-07-2003, 05:43 PM

But Beren has the cooler name.

***RÃan*** · 01-07-2003, 05:56 PM

I like Beleg, too, Artanis - the strong, mysterious type, and what a good pal to Turin.

I'm reading thru The Lay of Leithian, and got to the part where Finrod and Beren were before Thu - I had to read CRT's little commentary before I realized that the false names they gave to Thu were their own names backwards! (i.e., Nereb and Dungalef)! Did you guys realize that?

Let's see - Dornif, Ronaef, Geleb, Rout, ...

OMG, Sinatra and Nair. Artanis can sing to Rian while she sheds

***RÃan*** · 01-07-2003, 09:22 PM

Oy, what an image!

I think I'll go back to thinking of Tuor and Beleg!

Quote:

It's funny that both names means something in Dutch.

Beren means 'bears' (plural of bear). This is rather cool because it reminds me of scandinavian myths.

But Beleg means 'siege' which is still something I can live with but it also means something else. *sniggers* I don't know the right English translation but it's the things you put on a slice of bread or a sandwich. This might just be me but it is such an odd name for a heroic elf. *can't stop sniggering*

***RÃan*** · 01-08-2003, 04:27 PM

That's funny, EÃ¤rniel - I wonder how many of Tolkien's names mean something in other languages? It reminds me of the name of a car in the US - "Nova" - supposed to refer to the star explosion, but also means "Doesn't go" (no va) in Spanish! Bad name for a car!

Does Beleg mean something like "baloney" - the dubious mixture of processed meats that goes into a sandwich? "Baloney" also has two meanings in the US - it also means something that's stupid or unbelievable. That would be pretty funny to have an elf hero named "Baloney"!

"Bear" is a nice name for Beren

I don't want to hear this. *closes ears* Now you may speak.

BeardofPants · 01-09-2003, 04:22 AM

LOL!

In New Zealand, baloney means "rubbish." We call it luncheon meat.
