How about this for Idril giving the Elessar to Eärendil:

Quote:
In those days Tuor felt old age creep upon him and Ulmo's conches far out west {over the sea} {call} [called] him louder and louder, and ever a longing for the deeps of the sea grew stronger in his heart. Wherefore he built a great ship Eärrámë, Sea-wing, with white sails. Ulmo beckoned to him at eve. One evening he {calls} [called] Eärendil and they {go} [went] to the shore. There {is a skiff} [was Eärámë]. {Tur} [Tuor and Idril] {bids} [bade] farwell to Eärendil and bid{s} him thrust it off <EL [and before they left Idril] said to Eärendil her son: “The Elessar I leave with thee{, for there are grievous hurts to Middle-earth which thou maybe shalt heal}. But to none other shalt thou deliver it.” >{and with Idril} [They] set sail [(and some say Voronwë with them)] into the sunset and the West[.]
Regarding the Oarni:
From the Etymologies:
Quote:
AYAR-, AIR- sea, only used of the inner seas of Middle-earth. Q ear (earen) and aire (airen); N oear, oer. Cf. Earráme, a Q name = Wings of the Sea, name of Tuor’s ship. Belegoer ‘great sea’, name of Western Ocean between Beleriand and Valinor, Q Alataire (see ÁLAT).
My question is are we going to use a Sindarin or a Quenya name here.
