Hmmmm... It's a tough one... I think It's 2) though, because I don't remember him doing it. His son was...Hmmm i don't remember... sounds kinda like Gimli... erm... hmmm.... must look that up later.....

2 - His son was Ar-Gimilzor, father of Ar-Pharazon. Among other things, he forbade the use of Eldarin tongues.

No problem, Gothmog, I should still have known that Orcrist was called Biter (not wondered which, Glamdring or Orcrist was called so). And perhaps I should also have remembered that the sword was buried on him... ;)

#2 is correct, and I'll give it to Firefoot because of a more correct answer, and for a first time on the thread. Good guessing!

Thank'ee.

Haleth:

1. Haldad's sister who lead the Haladin when he and their father had died.
2. A mighty leader's son, slain in battle.
3. Leader of the people befriended by Celegorm.
4. An Elf who greeted the Fellowship in Lorien.
5. One who led the Haladin into Beleriand.

It's #2, if I'm not making Orcrist-mistakes again...

Correct you are. Haleth being Helm's son.

*Bumpity?*

Sorry, I was away for a few days and yesterday I wasn't very creative...

After trying to make a difficult enough but still mindful question for half an hour I conclude that it is an impossible task for me.

So, anyone can take the thread now, and I continue to practise my question-making skills...

here I go
 

And the word IS

Culumalda
is it
A, the commander of the Sylvan Elves in the First Battle of Beleriand.
B, The name of an Ent.
C, Caleborn's given name in Eregion.
D, A type of tree that grew in Ithilian.
or E, A maia of Yavanna and Aule.

D - a tree of Ithilien.

you got it!

Thanks
 

The word is:

Grimslade

1. Another name for Carcharoth
2. Grimbold's home in Rohan
3. A town of the North Farthing
4. A Rider of Rohan killed at Pelennor
5. A brand of pipeweed

3 i beleive...

Nope, sorry!

It's 2.

Correct!

Thanks.

Ann-thennath.

a. A mountain pass in Beleriand.
b. A flower growing in Ithilien.
c. An Elvish measurement of time.
d. An Elvish type of song.
e. A battle formation used at the Gladden Fields.

sounds like maybe probaly not A?

I'll go with D.

Alcarillo has it.

Thanks!
 

Eilenaer

1. The wife of Gorlim the Unhappy
2. Father of Valandil first Lord of Andúnië
3. A flower of Númenor
4. A name for Halifirien, Amon Anwar, etc.
5. The hill upon which the Stone of Erech sits

4.

You got it, Firefoot.

Thanks.

Hengest:

A. A conqueror of Tol Eressea.
B. A forgotten captain of the Haradrim.
C. A messenger from Eorl.
D. One of Aldarion's mariners.
E. A lord of the Haladin.

With a name like that, it has to be a messenger from Eorl...so Anglo-Saxon...

C.

Well, that's what you were supposed to think... ;) Nope!

Hengest, isn't that one of the earliest characters of Tokien's world? Named after the myth of a man who is said to have conquered Britain, and Britain was supposed to be Tol Eressea in the early Tokien works?

I know I've read this in UT, but I don't have a copy with me right now... The brothers Horst and Hengest or something like that seems familiar...I could be totally wrong :(

My answer is A if I'm not clear enough.

Yep, that's right. It's actually in the Book of Lost Tales, though. Your go!

Right, that's what I meant... Got the English booktitles confused, sorry about that.

The name Hengest is interesting. Probably from the word Hengst=Stallion in Old English. Stallion=Hingst in Swedish. Something for Rune's thread about Tolkien and Norse myths maybe?

Anyway:

Tauremornaloma

1. One of the older Ents
2. Other name for Taur-nu-Fuin (in Dorthonion, not Mirkwood)
3. Other name for Oromë
4. Eöl's home
5. Other name for Fangorn

Good luck!

My second bid for power. It has to be 3; too bizarre an etymylogical connection to be dreamed up...

3.

Oh, your not very lucky on this thread, are you Ang? I'm sorry to inform you that you're wrong... I actually dreamt up that connection ;) Try again!

I'm going to go with 5.

Number 5 it is. I've only come across that name once, and it's in Treebeard's song to Merry and Pippin on their way to his "house". I hope I understood the text correctly and that it is an old name for Fangorn... he also names Amraborna, Aldaloma and Tauremorna. If anyone knows anything more about these names, please pm me...

Your turn Firefoot.

*Bump* Your turn Firefoot

Oops.

Agathurush:

A. Numenorean river.
B. Self-given name of Turin.
C. Site of a battle in which Sauron was utterly routed.
D. One of Aldarion's mariners accompanying him on several voyages.
E. Home of Petty-Dwarves in the early First Age.

No, wait, it's C. Tricky question.

Correct you are!

Thanks!
 

Nimruzîr

1. Elendil's Adunaic name.
2. The twenty-third King of Numenor.
3. Westron name for Gondor.
4. Dwarvish name for Lothlorien.
5. A tree of Numenor.

For some reason my inner Tolkien pointed to number 4. But i'm not 100% sure...
