Unless - and this is a pretty long shot - "unendingly virtuous" could simply mean it doesn't need to have the ending letter of virtuous - the s - and Imrahil can be derived from Silmaril that way - but an L also has to turn into an H for that to happen.
Wrong but ingenious and oddly not a million miles off. Unending does indeed mean you need to lose a last letter. But it isn't as complicated as you have made it. Have another look. Only. 2 and the password are really obscure imo but we are in Sil, UT, appendices territory rather than HoME or LOTR or Hobbit.
