Well Learnt Tolkien Lover only.. ok, you can all come!

i was having a conversation with a very nice tolkien addict like myself when i think we stumbled upon something.. here is our conversation..

Arallathan: as if "Spirit of Fire" ever had a chance with "Tree Brilliance"

Laurelindorinian: i like Luthien Tinuviel

Laurelindorinian: haha

Arallathan: Galad = Tree, Ril or Riel = Brilliance

Laurelindorinian: does't Galad mean light though

Arallathan: Galad, no

Arallathan: Galadhrim

Arallathan: Tree-people

Arallathan: or Peoples of the tree

Laurelindorinian: i thought it was Ost or Orn or something of that nature that meant tree

Arallathan: Ost-in-Edhel = City of the Jewel-Smiths

Arallathan: Ost = City

Laurelindorinian: oh it's orn, like the end of fang orn

Laurelindorinian: that's in the back of the sil where it ways that

Arallathan: wait a sec, i'll just check

Laurelindorinian: haha

Laurelindorinian: see i thought galad meant light, as in Gil Galad, whos name literally means "star Light

Laurelindorinian: "

Arallathan: orn does mean tree, as well

Laurelindorinian: well tolkien was human,

Arallathan: but i know Galadhrim or Galadhremmin meant "People of the Tree"

Laurelindorinian: there's mnany double meanings to alot of words and prefixes and suffixes

Laurelindorinian: yea, i know your right on that one..

Arallathan: It depends on where abouts the word is used in conjunction with another word

Laurelindorinian: yea, most likeley

end converstaion.
ok, now .. talk amongst yourselves...
