A different type of name game

O.K.

This is hard to explain.

First you type in the meaning of the word and a different person has to tell the Elvish (Quenta or Sindarin) name of it. Then the get the honor of doing the next one.

Example:

Lover of the sea
-----------------------------------------------
Next post would say:

Earendil
-----------------------------------------------
Ok lets start

Try agai, IP, it's not Shelob. Shelob isn't Elvish!

Bullroarer...Lord of the Trees can also be Aragorn....if you're curious.

ar(a)=high, noble, royal
g-augmentive prefix
orn=tree

The only thing I can come up for "Old Spider" is Ungoliar. Is that right?

Well in that case....

I'm guessing Ungoliant, but that means Great Spider or Dark or whatever.

Ah what the heck.


UNGOLIANT!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Well in that case....

it's Ungoliant! Ungol=spider (as in Cirith Ungol; I know this is translated as Shelob's lair somewhere, but it really means "spider pass")

Actually, I just looked up the elements in Sil. and I realized "iant" means bridge, not old, as I had always thought! Looks like I got the elements of Iant Iaur mixed up a long time ago and it just stuck in my head that way! I'd always had it in my head that Ungoliant meant "old spider". Sorry about that; no wonder everyone was confused. As etherealunicorn would say, another brain fart. It seems to get gassier up there as I get older.

So what's next?
