Why did Twista ask a question after Falagar asked his?
To answer Falagar's question, Aragorn's name in Gondor was Thorongil...

Separate game... but there's a quote up now if you think you can finish it. Besides, we have a question on the board now... it's drawn a couple of answer attempts, but no word back yet from the one who asked (brownjenkins).

Were Araw Aurochs? (Oxen put me in mind of this.) As in Boromir's horn?

cassiopeia was right (as far as i know). check the sil index under orome.
"araw" put me in mind of prydain, as in "arawn". somewhat different characters, however... |

yep... cassi's got it
reference was in regards to the wild oxes of araw who were hunted in rhûn by the steward vorondil... boromir's horn was made from one of their tusks... they were noted in the appendix to be descended from the kine of araw... araw being another name for oromë

I thought I'd push this thread up a bit. I don't think my question's too hard.

Once I caved in and looked for the answer, it wasn't too difficult to find. It's remembering stuff like that that's really difficult.
Alright, a question for Mooters... How many days in a Shire month? And if that's too easy, add the bonus question: What were the extra days added to which season?
