Neither of you have it. I thought I indicated than thank you was not ta or tar. The clue is not that tricksy and I feel it follows the conventions. I understand epesse to be a secondary name of a personand that is what you are looking for. Further more it is known as a secondary name. It isnt Felagund but it is on a par. I havent been mean and used someone like Gilgalad or Galadriel who are best known by the epesse to the extent that the original name is forgotten.

The cryptic clue is in two distinct parts which simply have to be added together.
