It would be rather funny as I live in a town called Umeå right now and with english spelling that becomes...Well, you see my point.
Even if this turns out wrong, can somebody recommend a good elvish-english english-elvish translator? Thank you!
P.S. I don't know if questions regarding language belong here, but to me it's a misc. question...Forgive me if there's some other, better suited thread for this kind of linguistic matters.

Actually... I have no idea where Neithan was getting that information from. Could be a typo, could be something I don't know and/or have forgotten, of course, but I've never heard of the word "umea" before, in connection with Quenya, or with Middle-Earth at all.
