10 day rule
who did Sauron call his "Cat" and why, according to tolkein, is this not an accurate nickname?

mormegil 05-04-2005 12:37 PM

Is it Shelob and that Sauron didn't "own" her?

arcticstorm 05-04-2005 12:50 PM

very close, but not quite

mormegil 05-05-2005 10:11 AM

Ok is it that she owns him not?

arcticstorm 05-05-2005 02:17 PM

There we go mormegil, She doesn't own Sauron

your question

mormegil 05-05-2005 02:22 PM

How many tongues did Glaurung have?

mormegil 06-09-2005 03:57 PM

It's 7

*bump*

Anybody take over it they'd like.

LadyLúthien 08-17-2005 01:52 PM

Okay, I'll ask one..

Who is the mightiest of the winged dragons, and what does their name mean?

arcticstorm 08-25-2005 05:31 PM

It was ancalagon the black

and the two parts of his name
anca: jaws
alagon: swan

so I am guessing swan jaws or jaws of the swan or something of that sort as to what his name means

LadyLúthien 08-25-2005 05:33 PM

Jaws of Thirst is what it means, but I'll give it to you. Your question arcticstorm
